Title: Systems and methods for navigation
Inventor: Bijal Bharat Hayes-Thakore
IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 2017-08-25
Abstract: A method of generating route instructions for a user comprising receiving, at a control system, device attribute data for a plurality of node devices 2 in a facility. The data is stored in a data set along with operation data relating to the state of the respective node devices. A control system 24 receives user attribute data and generates route instructions specifying a source location, destination location and one or more waypoints there between based on the data set and user data. The instructions are then transmitted to the user, whom may have a device 22. The user may be provided with an annotated graph in which the vertices represent particular waypoints. If the user deviates from a specified route, a signal may be sent to the user or other party. The generation of route instructions may take into account the user’s capabilities data and/or authentication. The node devices may comprise smart objects.

Filed: 2018-08-02
Abstract: A base station transmits an indication to a UE of available uplink resources and of uplink resources allocated (401), in a period prior to the start of the available resources, to other UEs associated with the same base station. In some embodiments, the period is a listen-before-talk (LBT) period, and the UE may identify utilized resources in that period. In such embodiments, if the identified utilized resources are identical to, are a subset of, or are similar to (403), the identified resources then the UE may transmit (404). In this way, a resource band may be used concurrently by a group of distinct UEs whilst avoiding interference with other UEs, or other groups, that may be in contention for the uplink resources, which may be unlicensed. The resources may be interlaces to allow each UE to span a wide bandwidth. The indication of resource availability may comprise a bitmap field.
