    Abstract: A disclosed method includes receiving a time-of-arrival range filter configuration and a reference signal physical transmission time from a network node at a reference signal physical reception time. The time-of-arrival range filter configuration includes at least one of a time-of-arrival filter status, a time-of-arrival filter distance range, and a time-of-arrival configuration. A time difference between the reference signal physical reception time and the reference signal physical transmission time is determined, and a distance to the network node based on the time difference is calculated. Whether the distance is within the time-of-arrival filter distance range is determined, and the time-of-arrival filter status is determined. Based on the time-of-arrival filter status, actions are performed in accordance with the time-of-arrival configuration applicable for the distance.

    Abstract: An apparatus or an add-on module for a, in particular mobile, device, is disclosed. In an embodiment, the device to be localized or the add-on module uses a measuring unit to measure, via suitable sensors, a local electromagnetic field distribution generated by a given infrastructure. An instantaneous position of the add-on module or of the device equipped therewith is then determined by comparing the measured field distribution with a specified map. In order to facilitate tracking of the add-on module or of the device, the measured field distribution and/or the determined position can be sent via a wireless data connection to a server unit.

    Abstract: A receiver includes a first discrete Fourier transform (DFT) block to perform a first single tone DFT on a positive tone associated with a sounding sequence. A second DFT block performs a second single tone DFT on a negative tone associated with the sounding sequence. A DFT coefficient generation block generates first DFT coefficients based on a nominal frequency of the positive tone and an estimated frequency offset between a transmitter frequency and a receiver frequency. The DFT coefficient generation block generates second DFT coefficients based on a nominal frequency of the negative tone and the estimated frequency offset. Multipliers in the DFT blocks multiply I and Q values of the sounding sequence with the coefficients. Accumulators in the DFT blocks accumulate multiplier outputs. An arctan function receives averaged accumulated values from the first and second DFT blocks and supplies first and second phase values used to calculate fractional timing.

    Abstract: Secure range estimates as described herein may include determining a range estimate between two Bluetooth enabled devices based, at least in part, on round trip phase measurements of wireless signals transmitted between the devices. In one example, a range estimate may include determining a first set of relative carrier measurements at a first set of frequencies, determining a second set of relative carrier measurements based on the first set at the second set of frequencies; and combining the first set and the second set to estimate a distance between the devices.
