摘要： Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of a first wireless device (e.g., a mobile unit) within a wireless network comprising a plurality of second wireless devices (e.g., access points). The method includes identifying an overlap area corresponding to the intersection of RF ranges for the one or more second wireless devices then computing a set of signal strength values, each associated with a measure of RF signal strength (e.g., RSSI) received by the plurality of second wireless devices from the first wireless device. A decision metric is evaluated for a plurality of locations within the overlap area based on the set of signal strength values. The location of the first wireless device is determined by selecting, from the plurality of locations, a location having the optimum value of the decision metric within the overlap area. The decision metric may utilize a minimum mean square error (MMSE) calculation. A weighting function may be used to remove redundant or weak signal strength values. The systems and methods are applicable, for example, to networks operating in accordance with 802.11, RFID, WiMax, WAN, Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, and the like.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of a first wireless device (e.g., a mobile unit) within a wireless network comprising a second wireless device (e.g., an access point). The method includes determining a signal strength contour associated with RF communication between the access point and the mobile unit, and adding a correction factor to the signal strength contour to produce a corrected signal strength contour, wherein the correction factor includes the sums of the differences between the transmit power and the antenna gain associated with the mobile unit and the access point. In an alternate scheme involving stored fingerprint data, a correction factor is introduced based on the differences between antenna gains and transmit power associated with the mobile unit under consideration and the mobile unit used for generating the fingerprint data. The systems and methods disclosed herein are applicable, for example, to networks operating in accordance with 802.11, RFID, WiMax, WAN, Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, and the like.

摘要： A handheld device (e.g., an RFID reader, mobile computer, or the like) is configured to periodically scan its environment for the presence of RFID tags, determine whether any of the RFID tags within range include a valid security code, then disable operation (e.g., by preventing access to stored data) when it is determined that there are no RFID tags with a valid security code within the operational range. The RFID tags may be placed strategically at secure locations within the environment, such as within other network devices (access ports, switches, etc.).

摘要： A wireless data communication system includes an access port configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of mobile units within multiple basic service sets (BSS), and a wireless switch having multiple predefined wireless local area networks (WLANs). The wireless switch is configured to automatically map the WLANs to the basic service sets and transmit to the access port a configuration template depending upon the type of access port. In one embodiment, there are n basic service sets, each having a corresponding basic service set identifier (BSSID), and m WLANs, each having a corresponding WLAN index, wherein the m WLAN indices are uniformly mapped to the n BSSIDs such that each BSSID has substantially the same number of WLAN indices mapped thereto. In a particular embodiment, there are n=4 BSSIDs per access port and m=16 pre-mapped WLANs. In this way, the wireless switch and respective access ports can be set-up in a simplified manner, in much the same way that set-up is performed with traditional access points.
