An apparatus comprising a plurality of receivers, a controller and memory storing instructions executable by the controller, the instructions, when executed by the controller causing the controller to receive data of signals received via the receivers as a signal from a transmitter, to segment the received data into a plurality of consecutive segments, to determine if consecutive data segments have changed in a manner indicative of movement of the transmitter and to, based on the determination, determine an angle of arrival of the signal based on data segments that have solely been received before or that have solely been received after a detected change in consecutive data segments indicative of movement of the transmitter or that have been received between two detected changes in consecutive data segments indicative of movement of the transmitter.

Angle of arrival detection system and method

A method for use within a WBAN, the method comprising creating a motion profile and a corresponding channel quality profile and using the motion profile to determining preferable conditions for MAC communication within the WBAN.

Method, apparatus, system, and computer readable medium for determining preferable conditions for MAC communication within a WBAN

A system comprising a source node () and a relay node (). The relay node senses a radio spectrum to provide first sensing data indicating the availability of a signal channel at the relay node. The source node senses the radio spectrum to provide second sensing data indicating the availability of the signal channel at the source node. The source node or relay node generates a channel availability parameter based on the first or second sensing data, respectively. The channel availability parameter comprises fewer bits of information than whichever of the first or second sensing data is used to generate the channel availability parameter. The source node determines whether to send message information to the relay node based on a sensing result obtained by combining the channel availability parameter with whichever one of the first and second sensing data is not used to generate the channel availability parameter.
