The present disclosure relates to a communication technique and system for combining 5G communication systems with IoT technologies to achieve a higher data rate beyond 4G systems. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, and security and safety related services) on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT related technologies. The disclosure provides a method for an electronic device to provide an augmented reality service. The method may include receiving content related information for an object; transmitting a request for at least one content among multiple contents related to the object based on filtering information and the content related information, and outputting at least one content received in response to the request in a virtual region.

Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body in a network without fiducial elements, using signal absorption, and signal forward and reflected backscatter of radio frequency (RF) waves caused by the presence of a biological mass in a communications network.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for a mobile device to select content, such as user profiles, contact information, images, and/or videos, to automatically stream to available displays when the mobile device moves within a certain range of the displays. In one embodiment, a method at a mobile device comprises receiving a user input to select a media content asset; detecting a display within a proximity of the mobile device; and sending the selected media content asset to the display without requiring additional user input.

In a system a map of a site is presented on a display. A user input specifying at least one path section in the map on the display is detected. A definition of the at least one path section is stored. A representation of a radio environment stored for the site is provided as positioning assistance data. The representation of the radio environment enables a determination of a location estimate for a mobile device at the site based on at least one characteristic of at least one radio signal detected by the mobile device at the site. The definition of the at least one specified path section is provided for enabling an adjustment of a determined location estimate.

A device obtains at least one characteristic of at least one radio signal detected at a mobile device that is located at a particular site and a representation of a radio environment for the site and a definition of at least one specified path section for the site. The at least one path section has been specified by a person in a map presented on a display. The device determines a location estimate for the mobile device based on the at least one characteristic of the at least one radio signal and based on the representation of the radio environment for the site and adjusts the determined location estimate based on the definition of at least one specified path section.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a management network node may receive, from a communication network node, a service activation request for a non-data wireless service (NDWS). The management network node may transmit, to a verification network node, a request associated with providing an NDWS configuration for the communication network node. The management network node may receive, from the verification network node, a configuration indication associated with the management network node providing the NDWS configuration for the communication network node. Numerous other aspects are described.

A mobile device can identify its physical location without explicit knowledge of physical coordinates, but instead using sensor measurements dependence on distance, e.g., signal strength from a Wi-Fi router. Sensor measurements can be used to determine the mobile device is at a same physical location as a previous measurement. For example, numerous measurements of sensor values can form data points that are clustered in sensor space, where a cluster of data points in sensor space corresponds to a physical cluster of physical positions in physical space. A current physical location of the mobile device can be determined by identifying which cluster of sensor positions the current measurements correspond. To identify the cluster of sensor positions, a probability can be determined for each cluster based on a sensor distance between the current measurement and a representative data point of the cluster and a kernel function.
