摘要:
A location system for tracking assets within a terminal includes a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) reference receiver within the terminal that receives GPS signals and generates DGPS correction data. In one aspect, a roving receiver unit is carried by an asset to be tracked within the terminal. It includes a GPS receiver that receives GPS signals and the DGPS correction data from the DGPS reference receiver. A tag transmitter transmits a wireless RF signal containing GPS location data based on received GPS signals and DGPS correction data. At least one access point is positioned within the terminal for receiving the wireless RF signal from the tag transmitter. A processor is operatively connected to the at least one access point for receiving GPS location data and determining a location of the asset to be tracked.

A system is provided for tracking an asset within a geographic area. The system includes an antenna mast supportable by, and extending upward from, an object configured to move or facilitate movement of the asset. The antenna mast is capable of supporting a plurality of wireless locating units of a plurality of geo-spatial positioning systems, which are configured to locate a respective one or more locating units, and thereby the asset, within the geographic area. The system also includes a controller positionable on the object and configured to control operation of the wireless locating units. The controller is further configured to direct transmission of data to a host via one of the locating units or another wireless transmitter, and in a manner that accounts for a wireless link between the respective locating unit or other wireless transmitter and the host.

A location system includes a plurality of signal readers for receiving signals from a wireless transmitter to be located. The signals include a wideband, spread spectrum signal and a timing marker appended a predetermined time in front of the wideband, spread spectrum signal for indicating the presence of the wideband, spread spectrum signal. A location processor is operatively coupled to the signal readers for detecting the timing markers of signals and responsive to a detection of a timing marker, correlating a signal as a first-to-arrive signal and conducting differentiation of first-to-arrive signals to locate a wireless transmitter.

Various methods for wireless signal storage with signal recognition detection triggering are provided. One method may include receiving a plurality of wireless signals via a plurality of frequency channels, storing representations of the plurality of wireless signals in a signal buffer, and receiving a trigger request for a signal of interest. In this regard, the trigger request may have been generated based on an analysis of at least one wireless signal within the plurality of wireless signals to thereby identify the signal of interest. The method may also include retrieving a representation of the signal of interest from the signal buffer based on the trigger request, and analyzing the retrieved representation of the signal of interest with associated signal characteristics to determine a location of a source of the signal of interest. Similar apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Provided are architectures, systems, methods, and computer program products for real-time object locating and position determination using frequency channel diversity for transmitting and receiving position determination signals including bursts of location signals. Channelized frequency diversity of a short burst of small location signals that “hop” across multiple frequency channels is used to collectively produce a quasi-wideband position determination signal. Object tags operating with frequency channel diversity for transmitting location signals of position determination signals require low power consumption, but can still efficiently provide adequate position determination signals for reliable position determination.
