摘要:
In a procedure for determining distance (or angle) between a pair of electronic devices wirelessly connected to one another, a current session may be temporarily suspended on request and thereafter the current session may be resumed. Temporary suspension and resumption of the current session may, for example, eliminate starting a new session between the pair of electronic devices and repeating a determination of parameters that were initially agreed upon in the current session. Temporary suspension of a current session may be signaled wirelessly, by one electronic device to the other electronic device, for example, by setting a specific value in a specific field, to signal that the current session is to be paused now, in a frame or message transmitted from the pausing device to the to-be-paused device. The current session may be resumed without repeating determination of the initially-agreed upon parameters, by transmitting a frame to initiate measurement exchange.

Disclosed are methods and systems for obtaining measurements of a range between devices in an exchange messages. In particular, described are techniques for transmitting messages between or among devices to share computed parameters indicative of ranges between devices. In particular implementations, shared computed parameters indicative of ranges between or among devices may enable computation of estimated locations of one or more of devices.

Round trip time (RTT) measurements may be obtained from downlink (DL) trigger frame and uplink (UL) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) frame transactions, which can replace and/or complement separate RTT measurements. By implementing such techniques, wireless systems can make access to RTT measurements, and consequently, location determination of access points (APs) within the system, more easily accessible to navigation and/or other applications benefitting from such measurements and determinations.
摘要:
A method includes receiving, at a first device, a packet from a second device. The method also includes detecting receipt of the packet at a detection circuit. The method further includes, in response to detecting the receipt of the packet, capturing a time of arrival timestamp corresponding to the packet at a capture circuit. The method also includes receiving, at the first device, a time of departure timestamp corresponding to the packet from the second device. The time of departure timestamp indicates a time when the packet is sent from the second device. The method further includes performing a comparison of the time of arrival timestamp and the time of departure timestamp.
摘要:
Systems and methods for calculating round trip time (RTT) between two wireless devices with respective clock drifts, while lowering the impact of the clock drifts on the RTT. A first RTT in a first direction is determined between a first wireless device and a second wireless device based on a first set of one or more messages exchanged between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. A second RTT in a second direction is determined between the second wireless device and the first wireless device based on a second set of one or more messages exchanged between the second wireless device and the first wireless device, and an average RTT of the first RTT and the second RTT is computed, wherein the average RTT has a low impact of the clock drifts.
摘要:
Systems, apparatus and methods for determining a cyclic shift delay (CSD) mode from a plurality of CSD modes is disclosed. A received OFDM signal is converted to a channel impulse response (CIR) signal in the time domain and/or a channel frequency response (CFR) signal in the frequency domain. Matched filters and a comparator are used to determine a most likely current CSD mode. Alternatively, a classifier is used with a number of inputs including outputs from two or more matched filters and one or more outputs from a feature extractor. The feature extractor extracts features in the time domain from the CIR signal and/or in the frequency domain from the CFR signal useful in distinguishing various CSD modes.
