    摘要: The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for using a location token to locate a mobile device in a mapped environment. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to identifying an AP in the environment using an AP location token. By finding a map from a map vendor which has a substantially identical map token, the AP and the map may be matched together. Once the AP is matched to the map, its exact location will be known. The location of a mobile device may be determined in relation to the AP's location. The same process may be used to identify the location of several APs on a map and thereby identify the location of the mobile device relative to the APs.

    摘要: Embodiments of a system and method for Access Point Location Discovery in Unmanaged Networks are generally described herein. When a device attempts to discern its location indoors, it must be aware of the exact location of the network infrastructure that participates in the measurement. Indoors, it is the location of the Access Points (APs), which must be known to the device in order to triangulate its position. A system and method are disclosed for correctly discovering the exact location of network APs. An AP populates a neighbor list with location information by performing Wi-Fi scanning to receive a Media Access Control address and radio channel of a neighboring AP. The interested AP then acquires the position of this AP neighbor by querying its location and receiving its position information. Lastly, the received neighbor location is validated for correctness and reliability using Time of Flight measurements.

    摘要: Apparatus and techniques are described, such as for providing indoor location services. Embodiments include active, passive or independent time-of-flight (ToF) responders that are adapted to provide a device with fine time measurement information to a device in order to determine a distance between the device and the network equipment or a responder. Embodiments may include network equipment coupled to one or more active ToF responders such that the active ToF responders provides ToF information to a device when the network equipment does not support a ToF protocol. Embodiments may include a server coupled to the network equipment, the server being arranged to receive location information from a plurality of devices over a network connection provided by an access point other than the network equipment, and to determine the location of the network equipment and one or more ToF responders coupled to the network equipment based on the location information.

    摘要: Mobile communication stations (STA) and a method for position estimation in a wireless network having access points (APs) are disclosed. The STA is configured to perform position estimation operations, with respect to the APs, based on a position latency parameter, a rate parameter, a power parameter, and an accuracy parameter. An upper layer of the STA may send the parameters to a position provider that generates the position estimation measurements and transmits the results back to the upper layer wherein the results include the position of the STA prior to the present time and the length of time from the present time to the time that the STA was at that particular position.

    摘要: Described herein are techniques related to constraining Inertial Navigation System (INS) solution according to pedometrical data. Data from sensors external to an inertial navigation module are leveraged in computing the final solution for indoor navigation. The techniques render the drift and divergence in inertial sensors to be much slower. Additionally, the techniques are not dependent on the attitude of the mobile device used for indoor navigation relative to the user's body.
