An apparatus including a processor unit configured to provide a first high-definition map, a sensor unit configured for providing sensor data representing an environmental condition in a periphery of the apparatus and a receiver unit configured to receive data representing a second high-definition map. The processor unit is configured to fuse the second high-definition map and the sensor data so as to provide the first high-definition map. The apparatus further includes a transmitter unit configured for transmitting a result of fusing the second high-definition map and the sensor data, and includes a command generator unit configured to generate a command signal representing a vehicle control command for a vehicle carrying the apparatus based on the first high-definition map.

Generation and use of HD maps

Embodiments provide an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a receiver and a position determiner. The receiver is configured to receive two periodic wideband signals transmitted from two spaced apart base stations of a navigation system for unmanned aerial vehicles, wherein the two periodic wideband signals are time-synchronized. The position determiner is configured to determine a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the two base stations based on a difference between reception times of the two periodic wideband signals and based on reception intensities of the two periodic wideband signals.

Positioning of unmanned aerial vehicles using millimeter-wave beam infrastructure

Methods and apparatuses for providing control signals for a transmission from a transmitting device to a receiving device using a mobile communication connection that comprises a voice channel are described. The control signals are used for controlling the operation of the receiving device.
