ULTRA WIDEBAND DYNAMIC POSITIONING METHOD AND SYSTEM THEREOF
An ultra wideband (UWB) dynamic positioning method and a system thereof are provided. A target UWB device detecting step includes driving a host UWB device to detect whether a target UWB device or at least one first-order seeking UWB device is around the host UWB device, and then a detecting result is generated. A host UWB device operation deciding step includes deciding an operating mode of the host UWB device according to the detecting result. When the target UWB device is around the host UWB device, the operating mode includes calculating a moving direction from the host UWB device to the target UWB device. When there is the first-order seeking UWB device around the host UWB device without the target UWB device, the operating mode includes switching on the first-order seeking UWB device to enter a seeking mode.
Polarized radio frequency (RF) roll, pitch and yaw angle sensors and orientation misalignment sensors
A cavity sensor including: a body defining a cavity, the cavity having an opening on one end and a closed surface on other end; a reflective surface disposed in the cavity, the reflective surface being angled 45 degrees relative to a propagation direction of an incoming wave through the opening; and first and second angle probes positioned on each of two ends of the reflective surface. Also provided is a cavity sensor including: a body defining a cavity, the body having two or more conduits, each having an opening, the body having a closed surface opposing the openings, and a probe positioned in the cavity at a position common to each of the two or more conduits.
BANDWIDTH INDICATION IN POSITIONING MEASUREMENT REPORTS
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE or base station performs, during a positioning session, a measurement of a first positioning reference signal (PRS) within a first bandwidth part (BWP), performs, during the positioning session, a measurement of a second PRS within a second BWP, transmits, to a location server, a measurement report including the measurement of the first PRS and the measurement of the second PRS, and transmits, to the location server, an indication of the first BWP, the second BWP, or both.
REPORT OF RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT BEAM LOCK INFORMATION
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a positioning measurement request from a network entity, the positioning measurement request including a request to receive and/or to transmit a plurality of positioning reference signals from and/or to one or more transmission-reception points (TRPs) using the same receive (RX) beam and/or transmit (TX) beam, attempts, in response to reception of the positioning measurement request, to use the same RX beam and/or TX beam to receive and/or to transmit the plurality of positioning reference signals to perform positioning measurements, and provides a positioning measurement report to the network entity in response to the positioning measurement request, the positioning measurement report indicating using the same RX beam and/or the same TX beam and/or a degree of success with using the same RX beam and/or the same TX beam.
PERIODIC PRIORITY BASED SCAN SCHEDULE
A device includes a controller configured to determine a first periodic priority function based on a first emitter signal periodicity of a first emitter type. The controller is also configured to determine a second periodic priority function based on a second emitter signal periodicity of a second emitter type. The controller is further configured to generate a scan schedule of a receiver system based on at least the first periodic priority function and the second periodic priority function.
Face-to-face state determination system
Provided is a face-to-face situation determination system in which a first beacon, which is a beacon carried by a first user, transmits a first signal including information identifying the first beacon. A second beacon, which is a beacon carried by a second user, upon receiving the first signal from the first beacon, transmits, toward a control device, a second signal including information identifying the first beacon, a first signal reception intensity, and information identifying the second beacon. The control device receives the second signal and, on the basis of the first signal reception strength included in the second signal, determines that the first user and the second user are facing each other if the first signal reception strength is greater than or equal to a first threshold value for a predetermined period or longer, and determines that the first user and the second user are facing one direction.

The controller circuitry is configured to estimate first position information of the target apparatus based on a captured image; and estimate second position information of the target apparatus based on both the first position information and information of the radio signal.
Transmission of luminaire maintenance information
The systems and method disclosed herein include a LCom-enabled luminaire configured to transmit a maintenance trigger encoded in an LCom signal in response to detecting an error or maintenance condition in the LCom-enabled luminaire, receive an access request, transmit maintenance information in response to the access request, and receive correction information to correct the error or maintenance condition. The systems and methods further include a receiver device configured to receive the maintenance trigger, generate the access request based on the maintenance trigger, transmit the access request to the LCom-enabled luminaire, receive maintenance information in response to the access request, and transmit control commands based on the maintenance information.

Determining a vertical location of a hand-held computing device. At least some of the example embodiments are computer-implemented methods including: generating an estimate of expected vertical location based on items of beacon data received from beacons by a radio receiver of the hand-held computing device, generating an error covariance of the estimate of expected vertical location based on the items of beacon data, calculating a level normalized change based on measurements of barometric pressure by a pressure sensor of the hand-held computing device, calculating the vertical location of the hand-held computing device based on the level normalized change, the error covariance of the estimate of expected vertical location, and the estimate of expected vertical location, and activating a relevant map for a level comprising the vertical location and displaying the vertical location on a display device of the hand-held computing device.
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DETERMINING TIME OF ARRIVAL USING MATCHING PURSUIT
A wireless receiver receives location pilots embedded in received symbols and uses the location pilots to detect the first path for every base station the network has designated for the receiver to use in time of arrival estimation. The receiver preferably applies matching pursuit strategies to offer a robust and reliable identification of a channel impulse response's first path. The receiver may also receive and use estimation pilots as a supplement to the location pilot information in determining time of arrival. The receiver can use metrics characteristic of the channel to improve the robustness and reliability of the identification of a CIR's first path. With the first path identified, the receiver measures the time of arrival for signals from that path and the receiver determines the observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) to respond to network requests for OTDOA and position determination measurements.
