Embodiment Construction

[0037] A number of methods are described below in the context of localization of radio frequency transmitting devices in indoor environments where the transmitting device is positioned independently of the receiver and where there are typically multiple reflection paths from the transmitting device to the receiver. Specific embodiments in which the sending device is a cellular phone (e.g., LTE transmissions in the 700MHz-2.6GHz range) or a wireless local area network device (e.g., IEEE 802.11 standard ("WiFi") transmissions at 2.4GHz or 5GHz) describe. It should be noted that the method to address the independence of the transmitting device and the positioning receiver and the method to address multipath effects can be used independently in various applications and together provide high accuracy in applications such as indoor positioning. For reference, the wavelengths of radio signals at 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz are approximately 12.5cm and 6.0cm, respectively.

Abstract

Directional characterization of a location of a target device makes use of multiple radio transmissions that are received from the target device. In some examples, each radio transmission is received at a first antenna at a fixed location, and is also received at a second moving antenna. The received transmissions are combined to determine the directional characterization, for example, as a distribution of power as a function of direction. In some examples, the received radio transmissions are processed to determine, for each of a plurality of directions of arrival of the radio transmissions, a most direct direction of arrival, for example, to distinguish a direct path from a reflected path from the target.
