Claim 12:
13. A method for operating a signal-strength compensating unit for providing a temperature-compensated received-signal-strength indication value of a wireless signal, the method comprising:
receiving a received-signal-strength indication value of a wireless signal received by an external wireless receiver from an external wireless transmitter;
ascertaining 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;
determining and providing at least one signal-strength compensation parameter, the signal-strength compensation parameter 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;
determining using the received signal-strength indication value, the ascertained operation condition data and the determined signal-strength compensation parameter, a temperature-compensated received signal-strength indication value; and
providing an output signal indicative thereof.
