Title: Vehicle Control System and Control Method
Inventor: DAVID PETTINGER
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle operable in autonomous mode and non-autonomousmodes including receiving environment data 12410 indicative of an environment of the vehicle. A non-navigable area associated with the environment of the vehicle is identified 12420 in which autonomous navigation is unavailable depending on the environment data. In a training mode 12430 the vehicle is navigated through the environment, depending on at least a steering input by a user of the vehicle, where the route passes through the non-navigable area 12440. A navigable area in which autonomous navigation of the vehicle, operating in the autonomous mode, is available is identified 12450. The navigable area includes a portion of the route passing through the non-navigable area. When navigating to a navigation goal in the autonomous mode 12460, the navigable area is used to autonomously control the vehicle. Non navigable areas may be determined by terrain type.

Title: Network reporting in a cellular network
Inventor: BENNY ASSOULINE
IPC: H04W48/10
Filed: 2018-09-06
Abstract: Methods for instructing and communicating measurements of neighbouring cells in a cellular communication network. Mobile devices may be instructed to take measurements of neighbouring cells using a broadcast or dedicated measurement instruction from a base station. The instruction may include a black list of cells on which the mobile device is requested not to report. The instruction may also include a white list of cells it should report on. The mobile device reports the System Information of the appropriate cells to the base station. The method is described as being particularly useful for Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IOT) systems as the above steps may be done while the mobile device is in an idle mode. This reduces the transitions between states as typically receiving the dedicated measurement instruction and reporting back cell information is done in connected mode while taking the measurements is done in idle mode.
