Title: Traffic disturbances
Inventor: RODERICK MCCONNELL
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2021-01-25
Abstract: Traffic flow control is achieved by measuring flow with and without perturbations 125, 135. When a perturbation 125, 135 is determined to improve the traffic flow, the effect of the perturbation 125, 135 is recreated at a later time to improve traffic flow. The traffic flow may be measured as the average speed of vehicles passing a certain point, or the average energy consumption of vehicles. The traffic flow may be measured in the presence of more than one perturbation. The determination of an improvement may be based upon a vehicle type. Perturbations may be created by a traffic control system, or may be naturally occurring events. The system may include vehicles providing departure and arrival time information. The perturbations may be created by the vehicles themselves.

Title: Method of operating a network
Inventor: ANDREW REEVES
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2021-03-23
Abstract: A hidden WLAN is configured to have a hidden network identifier (e.g. SSID, BSSID, MAC address) that is cryptographically derived from the first network identifier of a first WLAN. A UE retrieves the first network identifier from the first WLAN and cryptographically processes the retrieved first network identifier to derive the hidden network identifier. The UE searches for a WLAN using the derived hidden network identifier and requests a connection to/via a target WLAN only after having discovered the hidden WLAN. The first WLAN may be the target WLAN or the hidden WLAN may the target WLAN. The method may be implemented by a set of wireless access points (WAPs) with controllers providing the WLANs. The target WLAN may be configured to be accessible to the UE only using access credentials. The first network identifier may comprise an output of an encryption function performed on the access credentials. The target WLAN may be connected to a wide area network (WAN).
