Claim 0:
1. A signal-strength compensating unit for providing a temperature-compensated received-signal-strength indication value of a wireless signal, comprising:
an input interface for receiving a received-signal-strength indication value of a wireless signal; received by the external wireless receiver from an external wireless transmitter;
a status determination unit configured to ascertain operation condition data indicative of at least one current condition suitable for affecting a respective temperature of a wireless-signal reception unit of the external wireless receiver or of a wireless-signal transmission unit of the external wireless transmitter, the operation condition data thus being indicative only indirectly of an effect exerted by the respective temperature of the wireless-signal reception unit of the external wireless receiver or of the wireless-signal transmission unit of the external wireless transmitter incorporated in an amount of the received-signal-strength indication value;
a compensation-parameter determination unit, which is configured to determine and provide one or more signal-strength compensation parameters, the signal-strength compensation parameters associated to at least one of a plurality of conditions suitable for affecting the respective temperature of the wireless-signal reception unit or of the wireless-signal transmission unit; and
a compensation determination unit configured to determine, using the received signal-strength indication value, the ascertained operation condition data and the determined signal-strength compensation parameters, a temperature-compensated received signal-strength indication value, and to provide an output signal indicative thereof.
