Title: Estimating network performance requirements
Inventor: ANDREW ROBERT BLAKE
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2020-06-18
Abstract: A network performance requirement for a software application running on a user equipment (UE) connected to a network is estimated based on indications of user-experience and measurements of a network performance parameter. For each of a plurality of UEs connected to the network, an indication of a respective user’s experience of the software application during a usage period in which the software application was executed on the respective UE, and a measurement of a network performance parameter measured by the respective UE during the usage period are received, 405. A value of the network performance parameter required to achieve a predetermined level of user-experience for the application is determined based on the received indications of user experience and measurements of the network performance parameter, 406. The performance parameter may be one of: received signal strength (RSSI), signal to noise and distortion, Eb/N0, bit error rate, data rate, throughput or latency. The advantage of the invention is that measurement of performance data by the UEs improves the accuracy of data that is associated with a particular application.

Title: Passive call button and systems and methods associated therewith
Inventor: JAMES J O'HAGAN
IPC: H04W4/38
Filed: 2020-09-25
Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an event within a monitored area are provided. A transmitter emits an RF interrogation signal into the monitored area. An RF target positioned within the monitored area reflects the interrogation signal as a target signal when the interrogation signal impinges on the RF target. The RF target has a switch actuatable by a user between a switch-state in which the RF target operates in a first reflective state, and a switch-state in which the RF target operates in a second reflective state. A receiver receives the target signal from the RF target. Based on the target signal received by the receiver, a processor can detect an indication of the reflective state in which the RF target is operating. The processor triggers an action in response to the indication of the reflective state in which the RF target is operating.
