    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a control module that establishes a secure wireless communication connection with a portable device. A sensor receives connection information about the secure wireless communication connection, eavesdrops on the wireless secure communication connection based on the connection information, measures signal information of a communication signal sent from the portable device to the control module during the secure wireless communication connection, compares the measured signal information with wakeup criteria information, and reports the measured signal information to the control module in response to the measured signal information satisfying the wakeup criteria. The control module receives the measured signal information from the sensor and determines a location of the portable device based on the measured signal information. The measured signal information includes at least one of received signal strength indicator information, angle of arrival information, and time difference of arrival information.

    Abstract: Localization systems and methods are provided and include a first sensor configured to perform wireless communication with a portable device using a communication protocol that allows for communication over open advertising communication channels and that allows for communication using a secure communication connection. The first sensor communicates with the portable device using the secure communication connection and seconds sensor communicate with the portable device by transmitting or receiving broadcast signals over the open advertising communication channels. A control module receives first signal information about signals transmitted or received by the first sensor and second signal information about signals transmitted or received by the second sensors and determines a location of the portable device based on the first signal information and the second signal information. The first signal information and the second signal information include received signal strength indicator information, angle of arrival information, and/or time difference of arrival information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle passive entry/passive start (PEPS) are provided. A communication gateway establishes a Bluetooth low energy communication connection with a portable device. The communication connection has a connection event during which information is exchanged between the communication gateway and the portable device. The communication gateway instructs sensors to perform two-way ranging using impulse radio (IR) ultra-wide band (UWB) communication with the portable device based on the information exchanged during the connection event. A localization module determines a location of the portable device based on the two-way ranging performed by the plurality of sensors. A PEPS system receives the location of the portable device from the localization module and performs a vehicle function, including unlocking a door of the vehicle, unlocking a trunk of the vehicle, or allowing the vehicle to be started, based on the location of the portable device.
