The invention relates to a
broadband power line carrier node
ranging method, which is characterized in that
transmission time is obtained based on each count value of a source node and the frequency of the source node, so that
time deviation caused by reference
time difference between the nodes is avoided; meanwhile, the destination node corrects the
response delay count value through the
frequency deviation coefficient, so that the fine difference of the frequency between the source node and the destination node is considered, and the duration corresponding to the
response delay count value in the source node is equal to the duration corresponding to the corrected
response delay count value in the destination node; therefore, the response
signal can be sent at the accurate sending moment, and correspondingly, the source node can receive the
signal at the accurate moment, so that the
time error in the
signal transmission process between the nodes is reduced, and the
ranging accuracy is improved. The
distance measurement method provided by the embodiment of the invention is simple and convenient, and can accurately obtain the distance between the nodes.
