A wireless communication apparatus mounted on a mobile body includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to transmit position information indicating a position to which the mobile body is scheduled to move, to a server apparatus. The receiver is configured to receive communication quality information indicating a communication quality corresponding to the position, from the server apparatus. The transmitter is configured to transmit the date at a communication position specified based on the communication quality information.

A variety of dispatcher user interfaces, communications architectures, methods, apparatus, APIs and protocols are described that can help facilitate the integration of volunteer responder networks into the workflows of PSAP dispatchers. In one aspect, a dispatcher user interface facilitates activation of the volunteer responder network, as well as tracking and/or communicating notes to medical devices such as AEDs in the responder network that have accepted an incident.

A system and method for in-person proximity matching that allows a plurality of user electronic devices to identify and match with one another based on a compatibility profile. The matching is done using a near-field communication protocol, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The invention allows matching of users when they are within the near proximity, which is defined as approximately 1000 meters.

A method includes estimating distances between a user device and an access point based on a series of FTM ranging bursts exchanged between the user device and the access point. The method also includes calculating a variance of the estimated distances and in response to determining that the variance exceeds a threshold, instructing the user device to perform an action that reduces the variance. Other embodiments include a device that performs this method.

A method for deploying and sharing aerial cells in a massive machine type communication (mMTC) network includes forecasting data traffic across a plurality of mMTC network operators for each of a plurality of geographical areas. The method includes generating a forecasted plan based on the forecasted data traffic, and a hovering time of each of a plurality of aerial cells. The method includes deploying and sharing at least one aerial cell from the plurality of aerial cells between the plurality of mMTC network operators to provide coverage to at least one mMTC node in at least one geographical area of the plurality of geographical areas, based on the forecasted plan.

A system and method for selecting alternate global positioning system coordinates is provided. The system generally comprises a geolocation device, processor operably connected to the geolocation device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions instruct the system to select alternate GPS coordinates based off geospatial data received by the processor as well as parameters of the system that may limit the alternate GPS coordinates in which the system may select. The parameters may be selected within a user interface of the system.

Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable storage media storing instructions and computer systems for labeling significant locations based on contextual data can be implemented to perform operations that include determining a location of a computing device, and determining a label for the determined location based on contextual data associated with the significant location. The location can be a significant location that has meaning to a user of the device.

A method for perception-sharing between similarly-situated vehicles that are traveling on a portion of a roadway that is equipped with an intelligent vehicle highway system is described, and includes executing, in a multi-access edge computing cluster in communication with a roadside unit disposed to monitor a roadway, an application-layer routine. The application-layer routine includes collecting real-time data associated with a plurality of objects from each of the similarly-situated vehicles, predicting motion of each of the plurality of objects based upon the real-time data, object-matching the motion of each of the plurality of objects, and executing fusion of the plurality of objects based upon the object-matching of the motion of each of the plurality of objects. Locations of the similarly-situated vehicles traveling on the roadway are identified based upon the fusion of the plurality of objects. The locations are communicated to one of the similarly-situated vehicles.

A real-time application-based cellular system with real-time GPS positioning to notify civilian drivers of the proximity of emergency services vehicles in sufficient time to allow appropriate response. Civilian users receive alerts and information on their personal computing devices, including, but not limited to, tablets and smart phones. No addition or special hardware is required. Only drivers in a moving vehicle with a certain proximity are directly and selectively notified. The system also is able to send other additional customized warning signals to citizens in threatening situations in a non-vehicular context.
