Methods for configuring and receiving a transmission resource for a PRS, and a UE are provided. The method for configuring the transmission resource for a PRS includes transmitting an S-PRS resource set. An S-PRS resource comprised in the S-PRS resource set is preconfigured, or configured through PC5 RRC signaling, or configured through base station RRC signaling.

A method for positioning a robot at start-up includes: when the robot is started up, controlling the robot to rotate in a preset rotation direction in a start-up positioning region; determining position information about a rotation path of the positioning transmitting unit according to the preset rotation direction and a set of at least three different position distances, where the at least three different position distances are between the positioning transmitting unit and the two positioning receiving units disposed at the different fixed positions and are determined during a rotation process; using a direction extending from the center position of the rotation path to a position of the positioning transmitting unit when the robot stops rotation as orientation information of the robot; and using the center position of the rotation path and the orientation information of the robot as start-up positioning information of the robot.

A communication device includes: a plurality of wireless communication units configured to perform wireless communication with another communication device; and a control unit configured to identify position information indicating a position at which the other communication device is located on the basis of at least three distance measurement results indicating a distance between each of at least three wireless communication units and the other communication device obtained in accordance with a result of wireless communication performed by each of the at least three wireless communication units among the plurality of wireless communication units.

A safety system for the localization of at least one spatially variable object having at least one control and evaluation unit, having at least one radio location system, having at least one spatially resolving sensor for the detection of an object in a detection zone of the spatially resolving sensor, wherein the radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations, wherein at least one radio transponder is arranged at the object, wherein position data of the radio transponder and thus position data of the object can be determined by means of the radio location system, wherein the position data can be transmitted from the radio station of the radio location system to the control and evaluation unit, wherein the control and evaluation unit is configured to cyclically detect the position data of the radio transponder and information on the object in the detection zone can be determined by means of the spatially resolving sensor.

A wireless transmitting/receiving system includes a transmitter, a first directional receiver, a camera, a storage device and a processor. The transmitter is disposed on a target object and transmits a wireless signal. The first directional receiver is disposed with respect to an entry/exit boundary. The first directional receiver receives the wireless signal and generates a first received signal strength indication. The camera captures an image of the entry/exit boundary. The storage device stores a mapping table of target object location and received signal strength. The processor is electrically connected to the storage device and determines a location of the target object and a moving direction of the target object with respect to the entry/exit boundary according to the image and the mapping table of target object location and received signal strength.

A method for localizing a user device using a Time of Flight (ToF) antenna array disposed on a vehicle, the method includes determining, via a ToF localization controller, that the user device is less than a threshold distance from the vehicle, determining an angle of arrival via the ToF localization controller and the ToF antenna array, and generating an unlock signal that unlocks a vehicle door responsive to determining that the user device is less than the threshold distance from the vehicle door.

At least a method for determining risk behavior of a driver is described. While a vehicle is being driven, data is obtained related to the position and movement of a wireless communications device. The data may indicate the type of behavior exhibited by the driver while the vehicle is being driven.

A method for managing transmission of a location of a first geo-tag capable of communicating with a second geo-tag, the tags being classified in several respective categories, the first tag being associated with a first category. The method includes implementing following steps in the first tag: a. detecting a proximity between the first geo-tag and the second geo-tag; b. obtaining the category associated with the second tag; c. transmitting, to the second tag, a request to transfer management of the transmission of the location of the first tag, if the obtained category belongs to a second tag category.

A system and method for obtaining location data for a portable device relative to an object. The system and method may include an object device disposed in a fixed position relative to the object, the object device having an antenna configured to communicate wirelessly via UWB with the portable device via a communication link. The system may include a control system, such as a robot and/or a remote controller, configured to obtain one or more samples pertaining to communications between the portable device and the object device.

At least a method for determining risk behavior of a driver is described. While a vehicle is being driven, data is obtained related to the position and movement of a wireless communications device. The data may indicate the type of behavior exhibited by the driver while the vehicle is being driven.
