Title:
SELF CALIBRATION OF SIGNAL STRENGTH LOCATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004106964
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for locating mobile units in a data communications system based on signal strength measurements of mobile unit transmissions is calibrated for variations in mobile unit transmitter power by determining range of a mobile unit from an access point using two way time ranging. The time ranging is compared to the value for range based on signal strength and a correction value for the mobile unit is updated based on the difference between range based on time ranging and the range based on signal strength.
