Abstract:
Embodiments of a communication station and method for time-of-flight (ToF) location determination in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a responding communication station receives a ToF measurement request. The responding communication station transmits an acknowledgment of the ToF measurement request. The responding communication station also transmits a response to the ToF measurement request that includes an indication of a time period for an initiating communication station to poll the responding communication station for a ToF result.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are directed to information exchange between a location point (LP) and a wireless device. A LP may include a network access point (AP) and/or a dedicated location entity. In one embodiment, supplemental location-related information of a LP including, but not limited to, a geographic location source, geographic location accuracy, geographic location update time, LP type, distance from another LP, and/or timing offset calibration accuracy, may be wirelessly transmitted from a LP to a wireless device.

Devices, systems, and methods are directed to the determination of current location information of a wireless communication device. Such devices, systems, and methods include a plurality of sensor elements configured to provide orientation parameter information, velocity and/or acceleration parameter information, and directional heading parameter information; a camera mechanism configured to capture images at predetermined intervals of a user's body as the user handles the wireless communication device; orientation logic configured to determine orientation change information attributable to the user's handling, based on the captured images, and provide orientation correction information; and location estimation logic configured to provide current location information based on previous location information, the velocity and/or acceleration parameter information, the directional heading parameter information and/or the orientation parameter information, and the orientation correction information.
Abstract:
Some aspects relate to an apparatus, method and/or system of radar tracking. For example, a radar tracker may be configured to generate target tracking information corresponding to a plurality of targets in an environment of a radar device. For example, the radar tracker may include a processor configured to determine the target tracking information based on a plurality of multi-target density functions corresponding to a respective plurality of target types, and to update the plurality of multi-target density functions based on detection information corresponding to a plurality of detections in the environment. For example, the radar tracker may include an output to output the target tracking information.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses systems and/or methods of Collaborative Time of Arrival (CToA). For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a CToA broadcasting wireless communication station (STA) (bSTA) to broadcast an announcement frame to announce a ranging-to-self sequence of a CToA measurement protocol; to broadcast a first ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the announcement frame; to broadcast a second ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the first ranging measurement frame; and to broadcast a Location Measurement Report (LMR) frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the second ranging measurement frame, the LMR frame including a Time of Departure (ToD) of the first ranging measurement frame.
Abstract:
For example, a processor may be configured to determine a plurality of potential targets based on radar data; and to identify one or more true targets in the plurality of potential targets by identifying a first potential target and a second potential target, which are at a same angle relative to the radar antenna; classifying the first potential target as a first true target based on a determination that a range between the first potential target and the radar antenna is shorter than a range between the second potential target and the radar antenna; and classifying the second potential target as a second true target or as a ghost target of the first true target according to a classification criterion.
Abstract:
For example, a processor may be configured to process point cloud (PC) radar information comprising radar detection information of a plurality of possible detections, wherein radar detection information corresponding to a possible detection of the plurality of possible detections comprises information of a plurality of radar attributes of the possible detection, wherein the processor is configured to determine a plurality of validity scores corresponding to the plurality of possible detections based on the radar detection information of the plurality of possible detections, a validity score corresponding to the possible radar detection to indicate whether it is more probable that the possible detection is a valid detection or a False-Alarm (FA) detection, wherein the processor is to output radar target information based on the plurality of validity scores corresponding to the plurality of possible detections.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are directed to use of a neighbor list for wireless indoor navigation. The neighbor list may include related information regarding all neighboring access points (APs). The neighbor list can be transmitted, at least partially, to include the related information of a desired number of or all APs in the neighbor list from one AP to a wireless device. The neighbor list can be transmitted in a Neighbor Report Response (NRR) or a time-of-flight (ToF) Response and allow the wireless device to scan for minimal number of APs for ToF measurements. By using the neighbor list, power consumption and time can be significantly reduced during wireless indoor navigation.
