Abstract:
Methods are disclosed that improve the location of a ground based Wi-Fi device using an airborne Wi-Fi station. One embodiments of the disclosure describes the periodic transmission of bursts of RTS packets in order to reduce interference to the responding CTS packets. Another embodiment of the disclosure describes the use of specific values used in the RTS Duration fields that enable the responding CTS packet to be identified and linked to the RTS packet to which it is responding. A further embodiment of the disclosure describes the use of a packet transmitted at the end of each burst that resets the NAV times for all ground networks.

Claim (Index 9):
An airborne station configured to measure a distance between the airborne station and a ground based station, the airborne station comprising:\n a transmitter configured to transmit in succession a plurality of request to send (RTS) transmissions, each RTS transmission having a duration field that specifies a duration that extends beyond transmission times of at least a subset of the plurality of RTS transmissions, such that ground local area network traffic is delayed for a specified duration corresponding to at least one RTS transmission; at least one receiver configured to receive at least one clear to send (CTS) transmission from the ground based station, each CTS transmission being in response to an RTS; and a processor configured to compute the distance between the airborne station and the ground based station based on a time difference between transmission of a particular one of the RTS transmissions and receipt of a CTS transmission responsive to the particular one of the RTS transmissions.
