Multipath mitigation in object ranging and tracking using RF techniques with reduced attenuation

摘要

An autonomous system with no Customer Network Investment is described, wherein the system is configurable to operate on a band other than the LTE band. Such system allows the definition of hybrid operations to accommodate the positioning reference signals (PRS) of LTE and already existing reference signals. The system can operate with PRS, with other reference signals such as cell-specific reference signals (CRS), or with both signal types. As such, the system provides the advantage of allowing net-work operator(s) to dynamically choose between modes of operation depending on circumstances, such as network throughput and compatibility.
