A communication timing control method for a communication service system provided with wireless communication devices, a wireless network, and an upper server groups the wireless communication devices using device information including characteristics of a service provided to the wireless communication devices entering the communication service system via the wireless network, characteristics of communication data handled in an execution application for receiving the provided service, and transfer characteristics of the wireless communication devices receiving the provided service. Next, a group-specific communication timing is determined for the grouped wireless communication devices. Next, communication is performed on the basis of the determined communication timing.

It is disclosed a method comprising one or more of the following: a first determining whether or not at least one characteristic that has been derived from a coverage map being representative of respective coverage areas of a plurality of beacons deployed in an area is affected at least by a count of the beacons deployed in the area and to their respective positions and affects an accuracy of a positioning of one or more terminals located in the area that is at least based on the coverage map and on respective fingerprints provided by the one or more terminals, is considered at least partially insufficient, and a providing, in case the first determining has come to an affirmative result, of first information on the at least one characteristic considered at least partially insufficient and/or on instances that at least contributed to the at least one characteristic being considered at least partially insufficient; a second determining, at least based on one or more fingerprints received from one or more terminals, whether or not an existing coverage map for an area can still be considered to be representative of respective coverage areas of a plurality of beacons deployed in the area, and a providing, in case the second determining has come to an affirmative result, of second information indicative of the result and/or indicative of why the existing coverage map is no longer considered to be representative of the respective coverage areas of the plurality of beacons deployed in the area; a third determining whether or not a status of a beacon on which information is transmitted by the beacon and received and provided by a terminal is considered improvable, and a providing, in case the third determining has come to an affirmative result, of third information on the beacon and/or on the status of the beacon; a deriving, from a coverage map that is representative of respective coverage areas of a plurality of beacons deployed in an area, of respective positions of one or more of the beacons, and a providing of fourth information representative of one or more of the derived respective positions of the one or more beacons.

A system is disclosed for managing waste services. The system may have a locating device configured to generate a signal indicative of a location of a service vehicle, a motion tracking device wearable by an management personnel of the service vehicle, and a controller in communication with the locating and motion tracking devices. The controller may be configured to determine based on the signal a proximity of the service vehicle to a target location at which the waste services are to be performed, and to monitor an activity of the management personnel via the motion tracking device when the proximity of the service vehicle is within a threshold proximity of the target location. The controller may also be configured to automatically flag the target location in memory as having been serviced based on the monitored activity of the management personnel.

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.

A sensor is configured to receive connection information from a portable device via a communication gateway in a vehicle and to communicate with a portable device using impulse radio (IR) ultra-wide band (UWB) communication based on the connection information. A location of the portable device is determined based on ranging using IR UWB communication.
