    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for tracking a passive controller system using an active sensor system within a mixed-reality environment. The passive controller system includes a body configured to be held in a hand of a user, as well as a plurality of retroreflectors that collectively provides at least 180 degrees of reflecting surface for reflecting a radar signal in at least 180 degrees of spherical range when the passive controller system is positioned within a predetermined distance from a source of the radar signal and with an orientation that is within the at least 180 degrees of spherical range relative to the source of the radar signal. Signals transmitted to the passive controller and reflected back from the passive controller are used to calculate the position and orientation of the passive controller system relative to the active sensor system.

    Abstract: A method for determining a location of a battery-less wireless tag by a tag reader being at a fixed-location. The method comprises: transmitting, by the tag reader, at least one wireless signal having a controlled known energy; receiving at the tag reader at least one packet transmitted by the tag within a time window; and responsive to a determination at the tag reader of at least one transmission rate of packets by the wireless tag based on the at least one received packet, determining information regarding the location of the tag.

    Abstract: A positioning method, system and device, a storage medium, and a program product are disclosed. The positioning method may include: acquiring parameter information of at least two Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) and parameter information of a base station; acquiring first time information and second time information, the first time information is information representing a time difference between a time point at which the base station sends a first positioning signal and a time point at which the base station receives a second positioning signal, and the second time information is information representing a time difference between a time point at which a terminal device sends the second positioning signal and a time point at which the terminal device receives the first positioning signal; and obtaining location information of the terminal device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining and using electronic tag motion may include a database storing a plurality of last read signal strength values and phase values for each electronic tag, for each antenna, for each polarization, and for each frequency of transmission. Based on the information in the database, the system may make a more accurate determination whether an electronic tag is moving or stationary, as compared to conventional methods used for determining motion of electronic tags.

    Abstract: A radar-based system for communicating information to a vehicle uses spatially-encoded markers that are positioned proximate to a roadway traveled by the vehicle. The markers are designed to convey a unique radar signature that distinguishes the markers from other objects. The unique radar signature or marker characteristics are further interpreted by at least one controller on the vehicle as encoded messages. Marker distinguishing characteristics, such as size, shape, orientation and movement, provide distinct information to the controller. The controller may use the conveyed information to make control decisions for the vehicle or to display the conveyed information to occupants of the vehicle. In some cased, the controller may use the conveyed information to determine a location of the vehicle, such as a position of the vehicle within a lane.
