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.

A conversion adapter is provided that includes a radio communication unit that receives biological information based on digital data transmitted from an external biological sensor by radio communication; a converter that converts the biological information based on the digital data received by the radio communication unit to biological information based on analog data; a connection unit that is connectable through wire to an external biological information monitor and that outputs the biological information based on the analog data converted by the converter; a power supply unit that supplies power to the radio communication unit and the converter; an operation input that receives operation performed by a user; and a body part provided with the connection unit and the operation part.

A telecommunications (telecom) system includes remote radio head devices, a core network, and at least one telecom support unit providing communications connectivity between the remote radio head devices and the core network. The telecom support unit includes a housing, a clamp mechanically coupling the housing to a support structure for a streetlight, a powerline interface, and a high-bandwidth communication medium. The powerline interface is integrated or configured though a first wall of the housing and electromechanically coupled to a luminaire of the streetlight so as to receive utility power from the luminaire. The high-bandwidth communication medium interface is integrated or configured through a second wall of the housing and communicatively coupled to the remote radio head devices. The remote radio head devices may be mounted to one or more other streetlights. The telecom support unit may operate as a baseband device and/or a cellular data repeater device.

A wireless communication system includes a first communication device and a second communication device. The first communication device obtains a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals corresponding to different communication protocols from a plurality of communication systems. A frequency of each of the plurality of RF signals is upconverted to a different frequency, and a phase noise is introduced in the plurality of RF signals. The plurality of RF signals corresponding to different communication protocols are multiplexed into a mmWave RF signal of a specified frequency and a defined pilot tone along with the mmWave RF signal is transmitted. The second communication device captures the mmWave RF signal having the defined pilot tone over-the-air. At least one RF signal is down converted to a source frequency and the phase noise is estimated in the one extracted RF signal based on the defined pilot tone which is reduced concurrently.

A wireless communication system comprises a source node, a destination node, and a plurality of half-duplex relay nodes disposed between the source node and the destination node. The half-duplex relay nodes are configured in two disjoint paths each comprising an equal number of hops from the source node to the destination node. The source node is configured to alternately transmit information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots, and the destination node is configured to alternately receive information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots.

The present disclosure provides radio-frequency (RF) systems that can detect the presence of RF signals received by the system, as well as determine characteristics such as the operating frequency of RF signals, the type of RF source that transmitted each RF signal, and/or the location of each RF source with high precision and sensitivity while using low cost, scalable electronics that are versatile enough for deployment in a variety of environments. Such systems can employ a network of RF sensors that can coordinate in response to communication with a computer to perform any such detection and/or determination using trained models executed onboard the RF sensors and/or the computer. RF signals may have unique characteristics when received at one or more RF sensors that may be detected using trained models described herein, even in high noise or non-line of sight (LOS) environments and with low cost, low resolution RF receiver hardware.
