Systems and methods for confirming the presence of a person or asset for a given purpose, and recording this information in a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger records and confirms presence indicia in connection with a transaction said facilitates remote and/or automated signatures. The systems and methods detect the presence of one or more humans and/or computing devices at a specific location at the time of a transaction, and contemporaneously recording information concerning the transaction in a distributed ledger. Presence can be determined using network presence sensing (NPS), other types of sensors, or the combination of NPS with other sensors.

A cargo space is monitored for objects connected to respective beacon-transmitting devices which transmit identification signals associated with the objects. Signal strengths of received signals and repetition periods associated therewith are determined using a monitoring device which checks whether each received beacon identification signal identifies a respective object in an object inventory of the cargo space based on comparisons of the signal strengths with current signal strength threshold values respectively associated with them and on comparisons of the respectively associated beacon repetition periods with respective current repetition period threshold values. The monitoring device detects whether the cargo space is currently in a first state (in which loading and unloading operations of objects in the cargo space is permissible) or a second state (in which loading and unloading is not permissible). The monitoring device adjusts signal strength threshold values and repetition period threshold values only during the second state.

A method for improving wireless communication for a drone swarm, the method comprising, at a computing system, receiving, from a plurality of drones of a drone swarm, data comprising radio frequency signal characteristics detected by the plurality of drones; generating a model of a radio frequency environment for the drone swarm based on the data received from the plurality of drones; and controlling at least one wireless communication system to improve wireless communication for the drone swarm based on the model of the radio frequency environment.

A method, implemented by a computer, for positioning based on heterogeneous networks comprises: estimating a position of a personal mobility device (PMD) based on a first wireless signal; determining whether the PMD is within an intermediate area between a first area and a second area, based on an estimated position of the PMD; determining whether the PMD moves to the second area, by using both the first wireless signal and a second wireless signal; and determining position of the PMD by using any one of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal based on a movement of the PMD to the second area.

A communication terminal capable of at least millimeter-wave communication and microwave communication is provided. The communication terminal includes a repeater that relays communication between a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal by using millimeter-wave communication. Such a communication terminal is capable of maintaining good millimeter-wave communication between terminals.

A system for assisting the positioning, in particular the orientation, with regard to a target position, of an antenna of a beacon intended to be in communication link by radio signal with a transmitter/receiver device, the system including a system for representation of a lobe of the radiation pattern of the antenna of the beacon on a projection surface of an environment in which said beacon is intended to be installed, and a system for measuring a distance separating the beacon and at least one point on the projection surface corresponding to the target position or positions.

One or more systems and methods for wireless equipment deployment are provided herein. Imagery of locations depicting structures within a list of structures is analyzed to identify features of the structures within the locations. Ranks may be calculated for the structures based upon structure scores and installation scores calculated from the features. In response to a rank for a structure exceeding a threshold, wireless equipment deployment of a communication device may be triggered so that the communication device is controlled to exchange communication signals with devices proximate the structure.

A terminal number estimating system includes: a plurality of receivers that receive a wireless signal transmitted from a plurality of terminal devices by frequency-division multiple access; a Fourier transform unit that performs a discrete Fourier transform on each wireless signal received by the plurality of reception means and outputs a discrete Fourier coefficient; and a terminal number estimation unit that estimates a position of each terminal device by clustering a resource block of each wireless signal based on each discrete Fourier coefficient.

The present disclosure relates to a signal receiver and a detection system. The signal receiver includes a housing and a handle. The housing includes a body and a protrusion. The body includes a first face and a second face disposed opposite each other. The protrusion is connected to the body and protrudes relative to the first face along a direction away from the second face. The handle is arranged on the first face.
