摘要:
A method and system (500) estimates a time of arrival of a signal received via a wireless communications channel. The energy in the received signal is conditioned at multiple different time scales to produce a conditioned signal (700). Then, a leading edge is detected in the conditioned signal (550). The leading edge corresponds to the time of arrival of the received signal (551).

A method generates (200) a radio signal to be used for ranging. For each of one of multiple frames (501,505) to be transmitted as a ranging symbol, a first time interval (560) and a second time interval (580) are allocated. The ranging symbol is then transmitted as a set of pulses in each of the frames ((501,505)) only during the first time interval (560), and the second time interval (580) has a length to reduces inter-frame interference.

A method determines a position of a target object. A window function is applied repeatedly to a first signal and a second signal of a pair of radio signals received at a pair of passive sensors from a target object while time shifting the window function during a correlation interval to produce a first windowed signal and a second windowed signal for each application. The first windowed signals are cross-correlating with the second windowed signals to determine a peak for each cross-correlation. The peaks are compared sequentially in time with a predetermined threshold to detect a first pulse in the first signal and a first pulse in the second signal. A delay between the first pulses indicative of a position of the target object.

A method estimates a distance between transceivers in a wireless communications network. A first time interval T is set in a transmitter and a receiver. A signal is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver at a time t2 according to a first clock of the transmitter. The signal is received in the receiver at a time t3. Processing delays of the receivers are determined. A reply to the signal is sent from the receiver to the transmitter at a time t6 such that |t3−t6|=T. The reply is received in the transmitter at a time t7 of the first clock and a distance d between the transmitter and the receiver is determined according to d=c(|t2−t7|−T)/2, where c is the speed of light.

摘要:
A method signals in an ultra-wide bandwidth network. A data symbol is generated. A set of reference pulses is transmitted for the data symbol. Each reference pulse is of a different type. One data pulse is also transmitted for each reference pulse. A type of each data pulse is identical to the type of the corresponding reference pulse.

An ad-hoc wireless communication network includes multiple nodes. Each node maintains a routing table. The routing table is constructed by broadcasting route request packets from a source node. The request packet includes an address of a destination node. Intermediate nodes in the network receiving the request packet, determine power and delay cost associated with the intermediate node participating in the route. If the cost is less than a threshold value, then the intermediate node participates in the routing of packets for other nodes. The intermediate node then sends a reply packet back to the source node. The reply packet includes the intermediate node addresses, as well as the power and delay costs. The source can thus construct the routing table. The source node can select a particular node for transferring application data packets based on either the power cost, the delay cost or both costs.

A method locates a mobile node in a partially synchronized wireless network comprised of nodes with heterogeneous communication ranges. The time intervals it takes for messages to travel from stationary nodes at known location to a mobile node at an unknown location are measured and used to determine a set of possible coordinates of the mobile node. This time-based set of coordinates is in the form of a hyperbolic function. The received signal strengths of a message received from the mobile node is measured in two additional stationary nodes at known location. These RSS-based measurements provide two more sets of possible coordinates of the mobile node. The three sets are then intersected to estimate the location of the mobile node.

A method for detecting unbalance in a 3-phase voltage signal is disclosed. The method includes determining an unbalance indicator as a value of a square of an amplitude of a positive sequence of the voltage signal; and comparing the unbalance indicator with a threshold to determine unbalance of the voltage signal.

A network includes a master node (master) and a set of slave nodes (slaves). The network uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and time division multiple access (TDMA) symbols on sub-carriers. During a first downlink transmission from the master to the set of slaves using downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a broadcast polling packet including data packets for each slave and sub-carrier assignments for the slaves is broadcast. Each slave transmits simultaneously to the master using uplinks and the assigned sub-carriers, a first response packet after receiving the broadcast polling packet. The master then broadcasts using the downlinks and all of the sub-carriers, a group acknowledgement packet, wherein the broadcast polling packet, the response packet, and the group acknowledgement packet include one superframe in one communication cycle, and wherein the broadcasting on the downlinks and the transmitting on the uplinks are disjoint in time.
