摘要:
A transceiver using composite beamforming technique is provided wherein a first communication device has a plurality of antennas and the second communication has a plurality of antennas. When the first communication device transmits to the second communication device, the transmit signal is multiplied by a transmit weight vector for transmission by each the plurality of antennas and the transmit signals are received by the plurality of antennas at the second communication device. The optimum transmit weight vector and receive weight vector for communication between the first and second communication devices is determined so that there is effectively joint or composite beamforming between the communication devices.

Techniques are provided for receiving a transmitted first packet that was formatted using a known scrambling algorithm with an unknown scrambling seed. An encoded packet payload is extracted from the first packet header. The encoded packet payload header is decoded to obtain a first scrambled packet payload header. For each potential value of the unknown seed, the first scrambled packet payload header is descrambled to produce a first set of descrambled packet payload headers and for each potential value of initial register values associated with a cyclic redundancy check, the cyclic redundancy check is executed comprising polynomial division on each of the descrambled packet payload headers such that when the polynomial division results in a zero remainder, a potential unscrambled payload header for the first packet is obtained. Information about the first packet is obtained from the potential unscrambled payload header.

A system, method and software for determining a position of a source of a radio emission. Receive signal strength data associated with reception of radio emissions is generated at each of a plurality of radio sensor devices that are at corresponding known positions in an area where the radio emissions are occurring. Using characteristics associated with reception of the radio emissions at each of the sensor devices, the receive signal strength data generated by each of the sensors is matched as corresponding to a radio emission from the same source. The characteristics used to match receive signal strength data may include spectrum analysis data and/or timing analysis data. Once the receive signal strength data is matched, position computations may be performed on the appropriate set of receive signal strength data to compute the position of the source of the radio emission.

摘要:
A device and method are provided for estimating a position of a target device (e.g., a device emitting radio frequency energy) based on data pertaining to strength of an emission received from the target device. At a mobile device, emissions are received from the target device when the mobile device is at each of a plurality of positions to produce receive signal strength data representative thereof. In addition, at the mobile device, signals are received from each of a plurality of reference devices at a corresponding known position (and transmitted with known transmit powers) when the mobile device is at each of said plurality of positions to produce receive signal strength data representative thereof. The position of the target device is estimated based on receive signal strength data associated with received emissions from the target device and receive signal strength data associated with received signals from the reference devices. Using the estimated position and estimated transmit power of the target device, a zone of impact of the target device is determined with respect to other wireless activity based on the estimated position and estimated transmit power of the target device.

Techniques for reducing the complexity and improving the accuracy of receive signal strength based location systems. The system comprises a plurality of radio sensor devices placed at known positions within a space in which devices are to be located. According to one technique, the path loss is measured between all combinations of pairs of radio sensor devices based on a test signal transmitted by each radio sensor device. A path loss model is evaluated to compute modeled path loss data between all combinations of pairs of radio sensor devices. For each measured path loss, a path loss error relative to each radio sensor device is computed by taking the difference between the measured path loss and the modeled path loss. The path loss error relative to each radio sensor device at any candidate position is interpolated from the computed path loss errors. A path loss estimate between a candidate position and each radio sensor device is computed by adding the interpolated path loss error relative to that radio sensor device at the candidate position and path loss data obtained by evaluating the path loss model based on the distance between at each candidate position and the corresponding radio sensor device. When determining the position of a device emitting radio signals (called a target device), the improved path loss estimate is used. According to another technique, for each radio sensor device, parameters are derived for a path loss model function from the measured path loss between that radio sensor device and each of the other radio sensor devices using a minimization computation. Then, a path loss estimate between a position and each radio sensor device is computed by evaluating the path loss model function using the parameters derived for each radio sensor device.
