The present invention discloses a safety devices adapted to prevent workers from going into hazardous environment, such as underground using the faulty safety device. As a safety device, typically embodied as a cap lamp, must be charged prior to each use, the device is adapted to detect when the device is removed from the charger. The device starts to blink continuously when disconnected from the charger. An automated test procedure is completed on the device. The user may also complete a manual portion of the test procedure to make the device usable. When the test procedure is completed successfully, the lamp stops blinking. If the test procedure is not successful, the lamp continues blinking to effectively prevent user from using a faulty device.

A donor communication station transmits a unicast transmission comprising a plurality of device data sets where each device data set directed to each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. A relay node receives the unicast transmission and retransmits the data sets in a broadcast transmission over a broadcast communication channel to the plurality of UE devices. In one example, the donor communication station encodes data for multiple user equipment (UE) devices by applying broadcast encoding to the data for each device before applying outer encoding to the data. The dual encoded data is transmitted to the relay node over a dedicated channel. The relay node applies outer decoding to the dual encoded data to retrieve the broadcast encoded data. The relay node then transmits the broadcast encoded device data in a broadcast transmission without outer encoding.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The UE may be configured for carrier aggregation using a primary component carrier (CC) and a secondary CC. The UE may attempt to detect a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) from another UE on the primary CC. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is detected: determine, based on the detected SLSS, a common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sidelink transmissions in accordance with the carrier aggregation. The UE may, if the SLSS from the other UE is not detected: transmit an SLSS to enable determination of the common time synchronization for the primary CC and the secondary CC by the other UE. The SLSS may be transmitted on the primary CC.

A system and method for identifying at least one aggressor cell are described. The method comprises transmitting at least one subframe from at least one base station of a first set of base stations to a second set of base stations, wherein the at least one subframe further comprises of at least one downlink subframe, at least uplink subframe and at least one special subframe. The second set of base stations decodes the at least one received subframe, and maps each of the at least one received downlink subframe, at least one received uplink subframe and at least one received special subframe of the at least one received subframe to at least one expected subframe. Lastly, at least one aggressor cell is determined based on a mismatch of the at least one received subframe and the at least one expected subframe.

In one embodiment, a supervisory service for a wireless network obtains frequency-time Doppler profile information for an endpoint node attached to a first access point in the wireless network. The supervisory service uses the frequency-time Doppler profile information for the endpoint node as input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to output an action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network. The supervisory service causes the action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network to be performed.

The present invention discloses a wireless communication apparatus having memory sharing mechanism that includes a communication circuit, a memory circuit and a processing circuit. The processing circuit performs the steps outlined below. Remote wireless communication apparatuses are connected to perform channel detection and communication thereon by a communication circuit. Compressed channel state information (CSI) generated by the remote wireless communication apparatuses is received by the communication circuit. The compressed CSI is stored in the memory circuit. Raw CSI is generated according to a status of the wireless channel. When a remaining capacity of the memory circuit is not sufficient, a number of the remote wireless communication apparatuses that the communication circuit performs the channel detection thereon is decreased and the corresponding compressed CSI stored in the memory circuit is removed. The raw CSI is stored in the memory circuit.
