International Classification:

H04W 72/04
H04W 88/04
H04W 84/18

US Classification:

370315, 370337

Abstract:

A method for directional mobile ad-hoc communication may include transmitting a join message from a first node to a second node, receiving an accept message from the second node including a TDMA frame slot reassignment correlating to an available TDMA frame slot in a TDMA frame associated with the second node, reassigning a TDMA frame slot for the first node in the TDMA frame associated with the first node according to the frame slot reassignment, and assigning a TDMA frame slot for the second node in the TDMA frame of the first node. It may also comprise executing a discovery protocol to configure a directional mobile ad-hoc communication network between a first node and as second node, transmitting a bandwidth reservation request message from the first node to the second node, receiving a bandwidth reservation response message from the second node, and enabling a relay node.

International Classification:

G01S 13/08

US Classification:

342118, 342126, 342146, 342147

Abstract:

A method for method of estimating the position of one or more target nodes based on received reflections of a primary signal. The method includes receiving a primary signal from a transmitter node having a known location at a receiver node having a known location and receiving at least one reflected signal at the receiver node, the reflected signal generated by a reflection of the primary signal by a target node having an unknown location. The method further includes applying a target position algorithm to the primary signal and the at least one reflected signal to generate target location information.

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

Abstract:

An object detection system includes a first camera having a first field of view and a second camera having a second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view. The object detection system includes object detection logic configured to receive a first image from the first camera and a second image from the second camera and identify an object in both the first and second image. The object detection system further includes object mapping logic configured to identify a location of the object based on the first and second image. The object detection system also includes display logic configured to display the location of the object.
