Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a scenario that warrants a pooling of first resources associated with a first network operator with second resources associated with at least a second network operator that is different from the first network operator, based on the detecting, obtaining first data indicating an availability of a first portion of the first resources and second data indicating an availability of a first portion of the second resources, processing at least the first data and the second data to generate a plan for facilitating a communication service involving the first portion of the first resources and the first portion of the second resources, and facilitating the communication service based on the plan. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method and system improves two-way radio ranging accuracy by estimating a relative clock frequency offset between a first clock X of a first transceiver and a second clock Y a second transceiver. The first transceiver transmits a first packet at time treceived by the second transceiver at a time t. The second transceiver transmits a second packet at a time treceived by first transceiver at a time t. The second transceiver transmits a third packet at a time treceived at a time t. The relative clock frequency offset is then where f is a nominal clock frequency of the first and second clocks, Nis a measured first delay between times tand tof the second clock, Nis a measured second delay between times tand tof the first clock X.

A system captures motion data in natural environments. A set of sources and a set of sensors are arranged on an object such as a human body. Each source emits ultrasonic signals detected by the sensors. A driver module is also arranged on the body. The driver module generates the ultrasonic signals for the set of sources and timing signals for the set of sensors. Distances between the set of sources and the set of sensors are measured based on a time of flight of the ultrasonic signals. Three dimensional locations of the set of sources and the set of sensors are determined from the distances. The distance measurements are refined using inertial components that provide rotation rates and accelerations. All these measurements together yield poses or configurations of the object.

A method and system communicates messages using a radio signal. The radio signal is transmitted according to an air interface standard for wireless radio communications. A baseband envelope of the transmitted radio signal is modulated while maintaining compliance with the air interface standard to encode a message in the radio signal. A receiver demodulates the baseband envelope to decode the message. The transmitter and receiver can be part of a cellular telephone network including mobile telephones and base stations.

An optical communications transceiver includes an LED coupled in series with a resistor. A microprocessor has one I/O pin connected to the LED. In a first mode or transmit mode, the LED is periodically driving in forward bias to emit light to transmit data. In a second or receive mode, the LED is periodically not driven in reverse bias, e.g., reverse bias or zero bias. Then, the LED is allowed to change charge of the capacitance of the LED's junction using a photo-current. The change in charge is measured using a timer. When the change in charge exceeds a predetermined threshold, input light is sensed. Thus, the LED can be used to receive data in the second mode.

Communication using bi-directional LEDs

A personal identification device for use with a mobile telephone in a wireless communications network includes an connector mated to a connector of the mobile telephone normally used for a hands-free kit or a data port. In a typical application, a user of the mobile telephone calls a server. The server sends a first telephone signal to the personal identification device. The device responds with a second telephone signal, designed to simulate voice or data activity, depending on the type of connector that is used. The simulated voice activity is structured in such a way as to cause the radio signal transmitted by the mobile telephone to go on and off in response to the simulated voice activity. A nearby receiver can detect the on/off pattern. The on/off pattern is designed to convey a unique identification code.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems of transferring correction information are described. In certain implementations, correction factors relate to stored or calculated values, and a correspondence between a correction factor and a value is indicated by a predetermined order of the correction factors. In one application, a method according to an embodiment of the invention is used to transmit correction factors relating to the positions of physical objects. For example, such a method may be used to transmit correction factors relating to the positions of space vehicles within a Global Positioning Satellite ('GPS') system.
