    Abstract: The present invention relates to adjusting one or more wireless parameters of one or more nodes (12, 14, 16) based on one or more node parameters including a relative location of the one or more of the nodes (12, 14, 16). The nodes (12, 14, 16) are wirelessly connected in a wirelessly connected system (100) and configured for transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals (18), receiving RF signals (18), or both. The one or more wireless parameters are adjusted such that the wireless performance of the one or more of the nodes (12, 14, 16) is optimized for an application of the wirelessly connected system (100). Transmission power can be adjusted such that a probability of detecting an event in a volume (212, 222) not to be covered by the one or more of the nodes (12, 14, 16) is reduced, allowing reduction of false positives from non-covered volumes (212, 222).

    Abstract: The invention is related to a pair-assignment device (100) comprising a sensing-node position ascertainment unit (102) configured to ascertain position information (P.I.) pertaining to respective positions of external RF-sensing nodes (104,106) with respect to a predefined sensing volume (108) of a RF context-sensing arrangement and a pair-assigning unit (110) configured to assign, using the ascertained position information, at least one transmitter-receiver pair among the individual RF-sensing nodes of the RF context-sensing arrangement to perform a RF context-sensing function, to assign to the RF sensing nodes of the given transmitter-receiver pair a transmitter role (Tx) and a receiver role (Rx), respectively. The pair-assignment device then provides pair information indicative of the at least one assigned transmitter-receiver pair and the assigned transmitter and receiver roles and thus enables an increase of tolerance of the RF context-sensing arrangement against changes in the position of movable objects.

    Abstract: A method for use in a lighting system for rendering emergency lighting comprises detecting (101) a switch from a normal mode of the lighting system to an emergency mode of the lighting system and a switch from the emergency mode to the normal mode and activating (103) an emergency radio frequency-based sensing function upon detecting the switch from the normal mode to the emergency mode. The radio frequency-based sensing comprises detection of disturbances to a radio frequency field. The method further comprises deactivating (105) the emergency radio frequency-based sensing function upon detecting the switch from the emergency mode to the normal mode.
