Abstract: A system for determining a distance between a receiver and a transmitter are disclosed herein. The transmitter includes a first antenna array having a first spatial orientation and is configured to transmit a signal. The receiver includes a second antenna array and an orientation sensor to determine a second spatial orientation of the second antenna array and is configured to receive the signal. A logic circuit is configured compare the first spatial orientation to the second spatial orientation to determine a relative orientation of the second antenna array; determine an angle of arrival of the signal; identify, based on the relative orientation of the second antenna array and the angle of arrival of the signal, a received signal strength compensation value; and calculate a distance between the transmitter and the receiver based on a measured received signal strength of the signal and the identified compensation value.

Abstract: A wireless communication device may determine that a channel is to be used to transmit an advertisement. The wireless communication device may determine a channel-specific gain associated with transmitting the advertisement via the channel. The wireless communication device may generate the advertisement to include information identifying a channel identifier of the channel and the channel-specific gain. The wireless communication device may transmit the advertisement for locationing based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the advertisement.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) device includes a spatial orientation sensor and logic circuit configured to determine spatial orientation of the RF device relative to a reference position or relative to a RF transmitter. In particular, the RF device determines a distance between the RF receiver and the RF transmitter based on a received signal strength of the signal and a determined spatial orientation of the RF device, by determining an orientation compensation value from a stored orientation compensation profile and determining a resulting compensated received signal strength. The RF device is thereby able to determine distance in an orientationally-invariant manner.

Abstract: A method in a computing device includes: via a short-range interface of the computing device, detecting a plurality of beacons emitted by another computing device, each beacon containing an identifier of the other computing device; obtaining respective proximity indicators corresponding to the beacons; generating a first set of aggregated attributes from the proximity indicators; storing the first set of aggregated attributes in association with the identifier of the other computing device; and transmitting the first set of aggregated attributes to a server configured to detect physical proximity between the computing device and the other computing device based on the first set of aggregated attributes.
