A traditional data processing system is configured to process input data either in batch or in real-time. On one hand, a batch data processing system is limiting because the batch data processing often cannot take into account any data received during the batch data processing. On the other hand, a real-time data processing system is limiting because the real-time system often cannot scale. The real-time data processing system is often limited to dealing with primitive data types and/or a small amount of data. Therefore, it is desirable to address the limitations of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system by combining the benefits of the batch data processing system and the real-time data processing system into a single data processing system.

A base station within a network for providing ATG wireless communication in various cells may include a first antenna array, a base station unit and a remote radio head disposed between the base station unit and the first antenna array. The first antenna array defines a plurality of first sectors having respective widths defined in azimuth. Each of the first sectors includes a first sector floor and a first sector ceiling at respective elevation angles such that combining first sector floors and first sector ceilings creates at least a portion of a respective first base station conical cell centered at the first base station. The first base station is configured to define additional first base station conical cells at respective elevation angles between the first sector floor and the first sector ceiling. The remote radio head receives location information indicative of a location of an aircraft to enable the remote radio head to form a steerable beam in both azimuth and elevation angle at the first antenna array toward the aircraft.

It is suppressed of a deterioration of a communication quality of a service link (SL), which is caused by an increase of signal attenuation in a propagation path of a feeder link (FL) between an aerial-staying type communication relay apparatus and a gateway (GW) station. A relay communication station of the communication relay apparatus comprises a FL communication section that performs a feeder-link radio communication with each of a first gateway station and a second gateway station corresponding to a first cell and a second cell which are adjacent to each other, a SL communication section that performs a radio communication with a terminal apparatus in each SL of the first cell and the second cell, and a control section that controls the SL communication section so that a shape of the second cell is changed to include a part or a whole of the first cell, when a radio communication quality in the FL propagation path with the first gateway station corresponding to the first cell is deteriorated or when the deterioration of the radio communication quality is predicted.

A plurality of directional antennas are arranged between an inner barrier (e.g., ring, wall, fence, glass, etc encircling a field, court, rink, stage, etc) and an outer barrier (e.g., guardrail, wall, etc encircling a seating region, etc) of the venue. Each directional antenna produces a beam pattern that is oriented such that the beam pattern is directed at an angle off-normal from the inner or outer barrier. Further, at least some of the directional antennas are placed at the openings of pedestrian tunnels leading into the seating region of the venue, near the inner barrier of the venue seating region, or placed near a midpoint between the inner and outer barriers so as to provide wireless communication services to users in the seating region of the venue.

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises determining a free space path loss distance at a frequency of a transmitter; determining a morphology class for a geographic location of the transmitter; determining a scaling factor P corresponding to the determined morphology class; determining a circular analysis region based upon the scaling factor P; and generating a contour.

The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for providing a location information analytics mechanism. The location information analytics mechanism is configured to analyze location information to extract contextual information (e.g., profile) about a mobile device or a user of a mobile device, collectively referred to as a target entity. The location information analytics mechanism can include analyzing location data points associated with a target entity to determine features associated with the target entity, and using the features to predict attributes associated with the target entity. The set of predicted attributes can form a profile of the target entity.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a distributed method and system for independent activation and deactivation of small cells. The method and system consider network traffic at multiple nodes instead of only considering the small cell's own traffic, and may be implemented using existing X2 messages.
