A system, including: an electrical network fitted to a building, for distributing electrical power within the building to make the building operational, the network comprising a plurality of nodes for outputting the electrical power each node comprising a receptacle for receiving a lighting element; and a plurality of radio devices, retrofitted to the operational building, wherein each of the radio devices is operable, when powered via a respective node of the network, to transmit data relating to positioning.
摘要:
A system for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication device (WCD) while executing a direction of arrival (DoA) estimation. The performance may be improved through device management, and may include the collection of information from one or more sensors installed within the WCD. The sensor information may initially be used to determine an appropriate configuration for the device. Further, the sensor information may also be used to affect the behavior of the device while performing the DoA estimation.

Apparatus (30) comprises a battery power supply, a radio-frequency transceiver, a multi-element antenna, and processor and memory. Software causes the apparatus (30): when in an idle mode, to broadcast positioning service advertisements and to refrain from broadcasting positioning packets, when in a positioning mode to broadcast positioning packets from each of the elements of the antenna (32A-C) such as to allow a mobile device (10) to determine a bearing to the mobile device (10) from the apparatus (30), and to transition from the idle mode to the positioning mode in response to receiving either a) a wake-up command or b) a positioning packet, from another apparatus including a multi-element antenna. The apparatus (30) may comprise a Bluetooth Low Energy transceiver; and software that causes the apparatus (30): to transmit advertisements for positioning services on a first channel; and to broadcast positioning packets on a second channel such as to allow a mobile device (10) to determine a bearing to the mobile device (10) from the apparatus (30), wherein the first and second channel are on different frequencies.
