A robot and a method for localizing a robot are disclosed. The method for localizing a robot may include acquiring communication environment information including identifiers of access points and received signal strengths from the access points, generating an environmental profile for a current position of the robot based on the acquired communication environment information, comparing the generated environmental profile with a plurality of learning profiles associated with a plurality of regions, respectively, determining a learning profile corresponding to the environmental profile, based on the comparison, and determining a region associated with the determined learning profile as a current position of the robot. In a 5G environment connected for the Internet of Things, embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented by executing an artificial intelligence algorithm and/or machine learning algorithm.

Techniques are disclosed for predictive media streaming using microlocation. Microlocations of a mobile device can be determined by measuring one or more sensor values at one or more times, the one or more sensor values are determined from one or more signals emitted by a corresponding one or more signal sources. Streaming events can be stored at the mobile device. Each streaming event may include a destination device for playing media and a cluster location, the cluster location corresponding to sensor values that are spatially near each other. A selection of a media item is detected and one or more current sensor values are measured. A current cluster location can be identified using the one or more current sensor value. The current cluster location and the streaming events can identify a particular destination device for playing the selected media item.

An example method of determining geolocations of objects based on information retrieved from heterogeneous data sources comprises: receiving, from a first data source associated with an object by an ontology-defined relationship, a first dataset including a first data item specifying a first time identifier and a first geolocation associated with the object; receiving, from a second data source associated with an object by an ontology-defined relationship, a second dataset including a second data item specifying a second time identifier and a second geolocation associated with the object; and determining, by applying a rule set associated with the ontology to the first dataset and the second dataset, a geolocation of the object and a corresponding time identifier.

A location engine uses the empirical measurements made by a scouting wireless terminal (i) to discover the existence of a reference radio within a geographic region; (ii) to generate an estimate of the location of the newly-discovered reference radio, and (iii) to generate an estimate of the transmission power of the downlink control channel radio signal transmitted by the newly-discovered reference radio. The location engine then uses: (i) the estimate of the location of the newly-discovered reference radio, and (ii) the estimate of the transmission power of the downlink control channel radio signal transmitted by the newly-discovered reference radio, and (iii) measurements, made by a user wireless terminal, of the power of each of the downlink control channel radio signals transmitted by each of the reference radios to generate an estimate of the location of the user wireless terminal.
