Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for dead zone mitigation for a passive entry system of a vehicle. An example vehicle includes antenna modules to measure signal strengths of broadcasts from a mobile device. The example vehicle also includes a wireless module to, when the mobile device is in a dead zone, generate first and second predictors and enable passive entry when the first and second predictors match and indicate that the mobile device is in a passive entry zone, and a sensor detects a user. The example vehicle also includes a body control module to unlock a door when passive entry is enabled.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle comprising:\n antenna modules to determine signal strengths of communication with a mobile device; a wireless module to:\n when the mobile device is in a dead zone, generate first and second predictors, wherein the first and second predictors are estimated locations of the mobile device within the dead zone, wherein the dead zone is an area within a theoretical communication range of the antenna modules where the wireless module cannot determine the location of the mobile device based on the signal strengths of the communication with the mobile device; \n enable passive entry when the first and second predictors match and indicate that the mobile device is in a passive entry zone, and a sensor detects a user; and \n a body control module to unlock a door when passive entry is enabled.
