Title: Method for determining location of wireless devices
Inventor: LINDSKOG ERIK
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2014-12-11
Abstract: This is a device for finding the location of a wireless device inside a building. Different techniques are required to do this, as the standard methods of using GPS, for example, do not work indoors. It does this by finding the RF delay of the client, or mobile, device, and the RF delay of another network device (AP) t1-t4. It then transmits a message from the other network device to the client device M1, and the client device will transmit an acknowledgement message in response Ack. It then uses the RF delays, the message, as well as the known location of the other network device to determine the location of the client device. There may also be a second message that includes the actual transmission time of the message from the network device and the reception time of the acknowledgement. It may also use analogue-to-digital circuitry and digital-to-analogue circuitry.
