Location determination method using wireless signal strength measurements
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12004045B2) outlines a method and system for determining the location of a wireless device based on signal strength measurements from multiple wireless transmitters. The method involves obtaining signal strength measurements, generating probability distribution functions for each measurement, deriving unknown path loss function parameters, and ultimately determining the device's location. By aggregating log values of probabilities for specific locations and maximizing these values, the system can accurately pinpoint the device's location. Additionally, the system can automatically trigger actions or provide location-based services to the device.
The system described in the patent utilizes processors and memories to execute instructions for generating probability distribution functions, deriving path loss function parameters, and determining the device's location based on these parameters. By considering factors such as transmit power, antenna gain, and transmission power values, the system can accurately estimate the device's location within a wireless network. The system can also determine antenna gain parameters and utilize various probability distribution functions to enhance location accuracy. Overall, the patented method and system offer a sophisticated approach to location determination for wireless devices, enabling precise location tracking and the provision of location-based services.
