MULTI-PATH MITIGATION IN RANGEFINDING AND TRACKING OF OBJECTS USING REDUCED ATTENUATION RF TECHNOLOGY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mitigate multi-path in rangefinding and tracking of objects using a reduced-attenuation RF technology.SOLUTION: An autonomous system with No Customer Network Investment is described, where the system is configurable to operate in a band other than the LTE band. Such a system allows the definition of hybrid operations to accommodate positioning reference signals (PRS) of LTE and existing reference signals, and can operate with PRS, other reference signals such as cell-specific reference signals (CRS), or both types of signals. As such, the system provides an advantage of allowing network operator(s) to dynamically choose between modes of operation depending on circumstances, such as network throughput and compatibility.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 18
