摘要: A method includes establishing, for a given time, measurement biases allowing an error affecting raw measurements of pseudoranges separating a navigation unit from at least three beacons to be decreased, and estimating an external position of the navigation unit at the given time based on: beacon positions, corrected pseudorange measurements computed for the given time using established measurement biases, and a preceding external position of the navigation unit estimated for a time preceding the given time. The measurement biases are established without taking into account the external position of the navigation unit.

摘要: This disclosure is directed to sub-meter level navigation accuracy for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using broadband communication signals, such as cellular long-term evolution (LTE) signals. A framework and methods are provided using a receiver and controller to produce at least one of carrier phase, code phase, and Doppler frequency measurements from received LTE signals. Single difference measurements may be used to remove clock bias. LTE ENodeB clock biases are initialized using the known initial position of the UAV. The measurements are fused via an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to estimate the UAV position and integer ambiguities of the carrier phase single difference measurements. LTE signals can have different carrier frequencies and conventional algorithms do not estimate the integer ambiguities. Processes are described to detect cycle slip, where the carrier phase measurements from the LTE eNodeB multiple antenna ports are used to detect cycle slip.

摘要: A transceiver for a wireless communication system is configured to: communicate with at least one other transceiver of the system using a sidelink resource pool of the system; transmit signals on resources of the pool that are allocated to the transceiver on a period basis with equal length periods tperiodA; transmit a first signal on a first resource of the resources allocated to the transceiver, and receive a second signal from another transceiver of the system on a second resource, the second signal being transmitted by the other transceiver responsive to a reception of the first signal, the second signal being transmitted by the other transceiver on the second resource using the period tperiodA based on which the resources are allocated to the transceiver; determine a distance to the other transceiver based on a time troundA between the transmission of the first signal and the reception of the second signal from the other transceiver, and based on the period tperiodA based on which the resources are allocated to the transceiver.

摘要: A method and apparatus for locating a beacon in physical space, where the beacon communicates with at least one of a plurality of gateways in the physical space. First signals are transmitted between gateways located at respective physical locations. Gateway-to-gateway measurements of power related to the first signals are stored. The gateway-to-gateway measurements are averaged to obtain averaged gateway-to-gateway measurements. Second signals are transmitted between a beacon and one or more of the gateways. Beacon-to-gateway measurements of power related to the second signals are stored. The beacon-to-gateway measurements are averaged to obtain averaged beacon-to-gateway measurements. First distances between the beacon and the gateways are calculated based on the averaged gateway-to-gateway measurements and the averaged beacon-to-gateway measurements. Second distances are calculated based on at least ones of the averaged beacon to gateway measurements and an expected measurement of power related to the beacon. Position of the beacon is determined based on the second distances. The position of the beacon is transmitted so that the position is subsequently displayed.

摘要: Positioning systems and methods for estimating an altitude of a receiver. In some embodiments, pressure and temperature information from a network of sensors is received by the receiver, and the pressure and temperature information from the network of sensors is used along with pressure information measured at a position of the receiver to estimate the altitude of the receiver.

摘要: Detecting and mitigating the effects of interference in a positioning system. A received signal is divided into a plurality of receive signal time/frequency (RSTF) values. A plurality of threshold values are determined based on expected energy values for the received signal. In one implementation, if a predetermined number of the RSTF values are above the threshold, the received signal is determined to be corrupt.
