Abstract: A method describes the architecture of a vision-supported navigation system in a terrain using available topographical maps, which is based on already existing methods for detecting prominent terrain features. An offline process used in this case creates a feature database from existing topographical maps, which is subsequently used in an online process for recognising features that have been seen. In this case, virtual reference images of the expected situation are created using computer graphical methods, which are analysed using methods for feature extraction, and a feature catalogue made up of vision-based feature vectors and the associated 3D coordinates of the localised features is derived from the same. These data are stored in a flight system in the form of a model database, for example, and enable navigation close to a reference trajectory and for a planned lighting situation. High localisation characteristics and a correspondingly high navigation accuracy are achieved by means of the possibility of using any desired, not necessarily lighting-invariant, feature extractors.

Abstract: A communications device for transmitting signals to or receiving signals from a mobile communications network includes one or more network elements, the one or more network elements providing a wireless access interface for the communications device. The wireless access interface provides a plurality of communications resource elements across a host frequency range of a host carrier, and a first section of the communications resources within a first frequency range for preferable allocation to reduced capability devices forming a first virtual carrier and a second section of the communications resources within a second frequency range for preferable allocation to the reduced capability devices forming a second virtual carrier. Each of the first frequency range and the second frequency range is within the host frequency range, wherein the communications device is configured with a reduced capability to receive the signals only within a frequency bandwidth which is less than the host frequency range and equal to at least one of the first frequency range or the second frequency range. The wireless access interface includes a plurality of time divided sub-frames, and at least one of the sub-frames includes a control channel in a part of the sub-frame for communicating first signalling data to reduced capability devices. The first signalling data identifies a location of one or more of the communications resources from which the communications device can receive system information, which is common to one or more other reduced capability devices. The communications device is configured to receive the first signalling data from the control channel and the common system information from the one or more communications resources identified by the first signalling data. Accordingly, the mobile communications system can make more efficient use of available communications resources by transmitting the common system information on the same communications resources.
