This invention provides a system and method for the design, prediction, and control of wireless communication networks by combining RF channel data from multiple lookup tables, each of which correlates an RF channel characteristic to some higher order network performance metric. Network performance predictions, and resulting network control instructions, are produced from look-up tables of measured or predicted data relating one or more RF channel characteristics to one or more network performance metrics. These lookup tables are uniquely constructed by site-specific location, technology, wireless standard, or equipment types.

A pilot reference transmission scheme well suited for high data rate wireless communication systems is disclosed. To maximize the amount of interference from transmissions from neighboring transmission sources (e.g., access points or base stations) during the pilot interval, and hence minimize the amount of interference from non-transmitting sources during the data intervals, the pilot references are transmitted in bursts at predetermined time intervals, and the pilot bursts from the access points are synchronized. This results in maximum interference contributions from non-transmitting neighboring access points, facilitating reliable estimation of worst case carrier-to-interference (C/I), and further allows the receiving devices (e.g., access terminals) to easily recognize the bursts as pilot reference. In one embodiment, each access point transmits the pilot bursts at or near its maximum transmit power level and no user-specific data is transmitted during the pilot bursts.

In methods, systems, and computer program products for locating a regularly configured object within a digital image, a plurality of primary rotated integral images of the digital image are computed. Each primary rotated integral image has a different in-plane rotation. A set of secondary rotated integral images are derived from each of the primary rotated integral images. The secondary rotated integral images have further in-plane rotations relative to the respective primary rotated integral image. A window is defined within the digital image and corresponding windows of the rotated integral images.

The dimensionality of the convolution sums is reduced to provide a set of reduced sums. A probability model is applied to the reduced sums to provide a best estimated derotated image of the window.

Disclosed is a method of dynamically extracting entropy of battery. At every measurement of a SOC of a battery estimated in a BMS, a temperature of the battery is measured and an OCV of the battery is estimated and then stored. Entropy of the current state of the battery can be obtained through calculation using the temperature value and the OCV value newly stored. SOH and SOC of the battery are updated based on the entropy value newly calculated. The conventional BMS estimates SOH through internal resistance of the battery without using the entropy, but the method allows thermodynamically and analytically understanding the internal state of the battery by using the entropy, and conceiving precisely the battery state by monitoring SOH as well as SOS.
