Hub communication with a satellite network or a terrestrial network
Apparatuses, methods, and systems of hub communication with a satellite network or a terrestrial network are disclosed. One method includes determining a propagation delay between a wireless communication device and a base station of a satellite network, adjusting, by the wireless communication device, a timing offset between transmit and receive radio frames at the wireless communication device based on whether the satellite network or a terrestrial network is selected, and based at least on the propagation delay, configuring air interface communication protocol timer values including at least a wait time for a response based on at least a frame offset between uplink and downlink frames at the base station of the satellite network, and communicating, by the wireless communication device, with the base station of the satellite network when the satellite network is selected, and with a base station of the terrestrial network when the terrestrial network is selected.
LOW COST, SIZE, WEIGHT, AND POWER (CSWAP) GEOLOCATION CAPABILITY UTILIZING SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS PASSED THROUGH TO BACKHAUL NETWORK
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for determining a location of a first device. The method comprises receiving, by the first device, at least one first signal from at least one second device. The method further comprises determining, by the first device, estimated first signal properties of at least one first signal. Also, the method comprises generating, by the first device, at least one second signal based on at least a portion of the estimated first signal properties. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by the first device, at least one second signal to at least one third device. In one or more embodiments, estimated second signal properties of at least one second signal are determined by at least one third device. In at least one embodiment, the location of the first device is determined by utilizing at least a portion of the estimated second signal properties.
