Patent ID: 8208860

Claim:
In association with a wireless system wherein a transmitter is disposed to transmit a signal to a receiver along a direct signal transmission path extending between the transmitter and the receiver, a method comprising the steps of: selectively determining the respective positions of the transmitter and the receiver; receiving notice at a selected location that a moving vehicle is proximate to the direct signal transmission path; responsive to receiving said notice, determining the position of the moving vehicle; using the determined positions of the transmitter, the receiver and the moving vehicle to determine whether the moving vehicle is located between the transmitter position and the receiver position; responsive to determining that the moving vehicle is located between the transmitter position and the receiver position, using the determined moving vehicle position to calculate the time delay between the times at which first and second components of the transmitted signal are respectively received at the receiver, wherein the first signal component is transmitted directly to the receiver from the transmitter along the signal transmission path, and the second signal component is transmitted to the receiver after reflection from the moving vehicle; and using the calculated time delay and an amplitude reduction transform to remove an effect of the second signal to provide a corrective signal component, wherein the corrective signal component is employed to reduce degradation of the first signal component that is caused by the second signal component.
