摘要： Techniques are provided for reliably distributing network management information in and ad hoc multi-hop wireless network which includes a number of existing nodes. A first node selects a particular timeslot in a dedicated channel based on the network management information received from the neighbor nodes and determines, via a contention channel, if the particular timeslot is being used by any neighbor nodes of the first node. If the particular timeslot is determined to be unused, then it is assigned to the first node for periodically transmitting network management information.

摘要： The present invention provides a bandwidth efficient system and method of measuring the range between nodes (102, 106, 107) in a wireless communications network (100) with one-way data transfer, where each node (102, 106, 107) periodically transmits a message that contains information regarding neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) from which any prior messages have been received by the transmitting node (102, 106, 107). A node (102, 106, 107) receives the messages transmitted from neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) in the network (100), and records the times of arrival of the received messages. The node (102, 106, 107) receiving those messages can thus determine the respective distances between itself and the neighboring nodes (102, 106, 107) based on the respective time of arrivals of the received messages and the respective information included in the respective messages.

摘要： A wireless communication device (e.g., 102) employs a method and apparatus for determining distances between wireless communications devices in a wireless communication network (100). The wireless device receives an incoming message signal (117) from at least one other wireless device (e.g., 101, 103-104) in the network. The message signal(s) includes a time of arrival of a ranging signal (121) previously transmitted by the wireless device. Responsive to receiving the message signal(s), the wireless device receives one or more incoming ranging signal(s) (120) from the other wireless device(s). Each ranging signal is received in a frequency range that is substantially less than the frequency range in which the messaging signal(s) was received. Having received the message signal(s) and the ranging signal(s), the wireless device then determines the distance between itself and the other wireless device(s) based at least on receipt of the ranging signal(s) and, more preferably, further based on the contents of the message signal(s).

摘要： A system and method for applying an algorithm to distance measurements between nodes in an ad-hoc communications network (100). The algorithm is located at an individual node (102, 106, 107) of the ad-hoc network (100) and processes collected data via a multi-path filter to ensure that range measurement data is correct, and if so, include such measurement data in a historical data matrix in which old measurement data is eliminated. During periods where received signals are unable to provide correct distance measurements due to reflections affecting the path between nodes or media absorption or radio energy, distance estimates may be obtained from this accurate historical data.

摘要： A system and method for improving the accuracy in computing the location of a mobile subscriber device connected in a wireless network. The system and method employ a predictive filter, including a measurement weight algorithm to decrease standard deviation error, to correctly determine a location of a mobile subscriber device. The predictive filter requires lower levels of computation, which allows for real-time processing on low-speed central processing units commonly used in wireless networks.
