Methods and apparatus are disclosed for multi-entity management of an ID node in a wireless node network. The ID node associates with a first entity user access device, which operates as a master node and communicates directly with a server over a first communication path. The first device separately communicates with the ID node over a second communication path, but the ID node is unable to directly communicate with the server. The ID node provides the first device with access to data collected by the ID node if an initial privilege authorizes it. After associating with a shipping entity master node, the ID node provides the shipping entity master node with the data collected based on a transferred privilege from the server. And then after associating with a second entity user access device, the ID node provides access to this second device if authorized by a destination privilege from the server.

A method and apparatus for indicating a system information block change in a wireless communication network is provided. According to the instant application, a single bit within the MIB is assigned as a change indicator, for example a SIB change indicator bit. As such upon the receipt of the MIB by the UE, evaluation of the change indicator within the MIB can enable the UE to determine if the SIB1 or SIB1-BR has changed.

A method and apparatus for focused communication is disclosed. The method includes a base transmitter array in communication with at least one client device at the same frequency. The base transmitter array provides a focused data communication to the client device.

Provided are a vehicle and a method of controlling the same that are capable of, when a user having been listening to a radio broadcast in a vehicle desires to send a message to the radio broadcast, providing a service that conveniently and safely sends the message to the radio broadcast when the user utters the message as speech. The vehicle may, based on a predetermined condition being satisfied while the audio corresponding to the radio broadcast signal is being output through a speaker, generate a message signal based on a speech message of the user input into a microphone, and control a communication module to transmit the generated message signal to a broadcasting station that broadcasts the radio broadcast signal.

The described technology is generally directed towards an adapting radio access network coverage for location-based alerts. A group of cells and/or cell sectors can be selected for sending an alert, according to selection techniques described herein. The selection techniques can provide a target level of cellular coverage for a geographic area, while avoiding over-inclusion of cells and consequent dissemination of alerts to subscribers outside the geographic area. The target level of coverage can comprise a desired amount of service overlap, to achieve a corresponding level of confidence that subscribers within the geographic area will receive an alert. The selection techniques can furthermore close identified coverage gaps within the geographic area.
