In certain aspects, a relay device may be configured to receive the message comprising a first zone ID for a transmitting device, to determine whether to relay the message based at least on the first zone ID, and if the relay device determines to relay the message, to transmit a relayed message including information reflecting the first zone ID. In certain aspects, a receiving device may be configured to identify a message comprising information indicating a first zone ID for a transmitting device, to determine whether to decode data of the message based at least on the first zone ID for the transmitting device, and to decode or refrain from decoding the data of the message based on the determination.

Dynamic tuning of mobile network device configuration based on location is described. An example of a storage medium includes instructions for switching a mobile network device in a vehicle to a maintenance mode based at least in part on detection of a first location, the first location being a maintenance hub location; enabling administrative communications and disabling user communications for the mobile network device in the maintenance mode; receiving configuration data for the mobile network device from an external server in the maintenance mode, the configuration data being based at least in part on a route for the vehicle; switching the mobile network device to a service mode based at least in part on detection of a second location that is different than the first location; and enabling service communications and disabling administrative communications for the mobile network device in the service mode.

The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.

Disclosed are: a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security, and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT0related technology. A method for measuring and reporting a channel state in sidelink communication is disclosed.

A wireless communication system for a moving vehicle, said wireless communication system comprising: a plurality of routers, each router being configured to receive and transmit wireless data communication to and from a stationary communication server outside the moving vehicle through at least one exterior mobile network via at least one antenna; receive and transmit data packets to and from at least one client onboard the moving vehicle; and communicate with every other router in said moving vehicle in order to receive and transmit data packets to and from said every other router, thereby forming an onboard router network. Each router is arranged to receive a media access control address (MAC address) from any client connecting to the onboard router network, and wherein each router is provided with a set of MAC address representations, representing MAC addresses to accept or to ignore, and wherein each router is arranged to analyze said received MAC address and compare it to its set of MAC address representations, and to determine, based on said analysis whether to accept or ignore said client. Hereby, a very efficient and scalable client balancing is obtained, which also provides redundancy.

In a wireless network with a plurality of access points, device calculates, for each wireless station in the network, a score based on at least an availability of the wireless network for the wireless station, combines the scores for the wireless stations into a current network score for a present configuration of the wireless network, calculates a plurality of predicted network scores corresponding to predicted network configurations with one wireless station moved to a different access point than in the present configuration, each predicted network score being a combination of the scores for wireless stations not moved in the predicted network configuration and a predicted score for the wireless station moved in the predicted network configuration, selects one of the current network score and the plurality of predicted network scores that satisfies a criterion; and, in case a predicted network score is selected.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a vehicle communications system of a vehicle comprises a vehicle controller with a wireless communications interface capable of providing wireless coverage in a plurality of vehicle regions, and a set of relay devices that are each communicatively coupled to the vehicle controller and are each capable of providing wireless coverage in at least one of the plurality of vehicle regions. In a further aspect, the vehicle controller transitions between first and second modes of communication based in part upon a traffic condition.

Disclosed are various embodiments for automated deployment of radio-based networks. In one embodiment, a request to provision a radio-based network for a customer by a provider according to a network plan is received via an application programming interface (API) of a cloud provider network. An arrangement of a plurality of cells for the customer is determined. Respective antennas and radio units for individual ones of the plurality of cells are preconfigured to implement the radio-based network before shipping the respective antennas and the radio units to the customer.

Example embodiments may relate to web interfaces for a balloon-network. For example, a computing device may display a graphical interface that provides information related to a balloon network configured to provide service in a geographic area, where the graphical interface includes a map. The computing device may receive real-time bandwidth data related to balloons in the balloon network, where the balloons are each configured to change position via altitudinal movement and via horizontal movement with respect to the ground. Based at least in part on the received real-time bandwidth data, the computing device may display, on the map, a visual representation of bandwidth information corresponding to one or more regions in the geographic area, where the visual representation of bandwidth information updates from time to time based at least in part on a change in position of one or more balloons in the balloon network.
