    摘要: IQ mismatch correction for analog chain IQ mismatch impairments is based on a two-filter architecture. In either RX or TX, an IQmc mismatch corrector (digital chain) filters I and Q digital signals, and includes an I-path to receive the I signal, and a Q-path to receive the Q signal, and is configured with two filters: an in-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the same path; and a cross-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the other path. The IQmc mismatch corrector can include: an I-path delay element to provide a delay to the I signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter; and a Q-path delay element to provide a delay to the Q signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter.

    摘要: An interleaved ADC receives an RX signal attenuated by a DSA based on an active DSA setting, within a range of DSA settings (DSA setting range) corresponding to selectable attenuation steps, the DSA setting range partitioned into a number of DSA setting subranges (DSA subranges). The ADC includes an IL mismatch estimation engine in the digital signal path, with an estimation subrange blanker, and an IL mismatch estimator. The estimation subrange blanker is coupled to receive the IADC data stream, and responsive to a DSA subrange allocation signal to select, in each of successive aggregation cycles, IADC data corresponding to an active DSA setting that is within an allocated DSA subrange (DSA active data within an DSA allocated subrange). The IL mismatch estimator aggregates, during each aggregation cycle, IL mismatch estimation data based on the selected DSA active data within the DSA allocated subrange, generates an estimate of IL mismatch (IL mismatch estimate) based on the aggregated IL mismatch estimation data, generates IL mismatch correction parameters based on the aggregated IL mismatch estimation data, and generates IL mismatch estimate uncertainty data corresponding to an uncertainty in the IL mismatch estimate used to generate the associated IL mismatch correction parameters for the DSA allocated subrange. A DSA statistics collector to collect a distribution of DSA settings over a pre-defined time period (DSA setting distribution statistics). An estimation subrange allocator coupled to receive DSA setting distribution statistics, and the IL mismatch estimate uncertainty data, and to provide to the estimation subrange blanker the DSA subrange allocation signal according to a pre-defined allocation strategy.

    摘要: A method for incorporating invisible APs for RSSI based indoor positioning is presented. An empirical estimate of the probability of invisible APs versus distance is computed. An estimated position of the receiver can be computed using any statistical estimator based on the probability. In one embodiment, an estimate of the probability is computed by combining the probability over a set of visible APs and the probability over a set of invisible APs with the probability of individual contribution. In one embodiment a dynamic procedure is used to update the invisible probability that is computed using an AP dictionary built on the fly as new APs are detected. Incorporating invisible APs for estimating user position from the RSSI measurements for indoor positioning provides a better positioning accuracy as compared to typical estimators which rely only on the visible APs.

    摘要: Several methods and systems for location estimation are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes performing a primary wireless scan to identify a first set of access points at a user location associated with a first user location estimate. A secondary wireless scan is performed at pre-defined time intervals subsequent to the primary wireless scan. A set of access points is identified corresponding to each secondary wireless scan. The method further comprises detecting a presence or an absence of user motion based on a number of shared access points between the first set of access points and a set of access points corresponding to each secondary wireless scan. A current user location is estimated to be the first user location estimate if the user motion is detected to be absent, or a second user location estimate computed based on geolocation signals if the user motion is detected to be present.
