Method and system for capturing signals in accordance with allocated resources. One method includes receiving, from a server by a network interface of a first communication device located in a cell, identification information of a second communication device located in the cell. The method further includes receiving, from a base station by the network interface of the first communication device, a resource allocation message destined for the second communication device. The resource allocation message indicates a resource allocation for the second communication device on an uplink channel of the base station. The method further includes decoding, by an electronic processor of the first communication device, the resource allocation message using the identification information of the second communication device. The method further includes capturing, by the network interface of the first communication device, signals based on the resource allocation for the second communication device.

Methods, devices, and systems for generating a plurality of network addresses for a plurality of communication devices communicating over a network. One method includes receiving, with an electronic processor included in a server, geographical coordinates of the network, generating, with the electronic processor, a first set of bits based on the geographical coordinates, generating, with the electronic processor, a second set of bits based on a random number, and generating, with the electronic processor, a baseline address including the first set of bits and the second set of bits. The method also includes generating the plurality of network addresses, wherein each of the plurality of network addresses includes the baseline address and a unique offset. In addition, the method includes assigning one of the plurality of network addresses to one of the plurality of communication devices.

A method and apparatus are provided for positioning an unmanned robotic vehicle (URV). The URV captures a set of one or more of image and non-image information of an object while positioned at a first position, provides the set of image/non-image information to a server entity, in response to providing the set of image/non-image information, receives a three-dimensional (3D) model associated with the object, autonomously determines a second position based on the 3D model, and autonomously navigates to the second position. At the second position, the URV may capture further image and/or non-image information and, based on the further captured image/non-image information, autonomously determine, and navigate to, a third position. The steps of capturing further image and/or non-image information and, based on the captured image and/or non-image information, autonomously determining and navigating to further positions may be repeated indefinitely, or until otherwise instructed.

A system and method for forming an incident area network including a first sub-system and a second sub-system. The method includes detecting, with an electronic processor of the first sub-system, a network connection to the second sub-system. The method includes initiating a sub-system synchronization process. The process includes including transmitting, from a first domain name server of the first sub-system to a second domain name server of the second sub-system, a first global network address for a first global application instance of the first sub-system, and a first name corresponding to the first global network address. The process includes transmitting, from a first network address translator of the first sub-system to a second network address translator of the second sub-system, the first global network address. The process includes synchronizing a first localized application instance of the first sub-system, with a second localized application instance of the second sub-system.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for setting an initial transmit power level of a deployable network that overlaps in coverage with a WAN. Multiple transmit power levels are determined. For each transmit power level, a geographical coverage area of the deployable network at an incident is determined based on a signal propagation model, a first set of mobile devices is determined that are within the geographical coverage area and that are involved in responding to the incident, and a second set of mobile devices is determined that are within the geographical coverage area, that are not involved in responding to the incident, and that may be interfered with by transmissions of the deployable network. A transmit power level of the multiple transmit power levels then is selected as the initial transmit power level based on the first and second sets of mobile devices determined for each transmit power level.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for node operation according to network-wide resource-allocation schedules. One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a given node within an ad-hoc wireless network, which includes a controller node for a current time period. The method includes obtaining one or more air-interface resource requests for the current time period, where each obtained resource request indicates a requesting node and a requested resource. The method further includes using a network-standard algorithm for deriving a network-wide resource-allocation schedule for the current time period based at least in part on the obtained resource requests. The method further includes verifying the derived resource-allocation schedule based at least in part on a verification value derived by the controller node from the network-wide resource-allocation schedule using a network-standard verification function. The method also includes operating according to the verified resource-allocation schedule for the current time period.

A Long Term Evolution (LTE) Concentrator and Distributor system and method extends geographical coverage while minimizing Evolved Node B (eNB) deployments. The system and method use a distributed array of Wide Band Receiver Transmitter (WBRT) devices (i.e., RF Heads, RFH, including antennas) connected via wide-band links to a central standard LTE eNB through a novel LTE Concentrator-Distributor (LTE-CD) which is an uplink (smart optimal) concentrator and downlink simulcast distributor. The eNB downlink signal (baseband or modulated RF) is distributed in synchronization (simulcast) through the LTE-CD to all WBRTs for downlink simulcast transmission to all UEs in the coverage area. The WBRTs receive uplink signals from user equipment, UE, devices in a coverage area, send the uplink signals (baseband or modulated RF) to the LTE-CD which optimally combines all received signals into one best uplink signal that is sent (in baseband or modulated RF) to the eNB.
