Abstract: Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, a method comprises initiating calibration, with processing logic, of at least one component of RF circuitry having a transmit chain and a receive chain of a first wireless node by generating a first loopback calibration signal and passing this first loopback calibration signal through the transmit chain and the receive chain of the first wireless node. The method further includes measuring a first transmit time delay for passing the first loopback calibration signal through the transmit chain and also measuring a first receive time delay for passing the first loopback calibration signal through the receive chain of the first wireless node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, an asynchronous system includes a first wireless node having a wireless device with one or more processing units and RF circuitry for transmitting and receiving communications in the wireless network architecture including a first RF signal having a first packet. The system also includes a second wireless node having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional communications with the first wireless node in the wireless network architecture including a second RF signal with a second packet. The first wireless node determines a time of flight estimate for localization based on a time estimate of round trip time of the first and second packets and a time estimate that is based on channel sense information of the first and second wireless nodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, a method for localization of nodes in a wireless network architecture includes receiving, with processing logic of a first wireless node having a wireless device, a RF signal from a second wireless node having a wireless device, measuring, with the first wireless node, first channel state information of a first frequency channel of the RF signal, and measuring, with the first wireless node, second channel state information of a second frequency channel of the RF signal with the first and second frequency channels being non-contiguous or discontinuous channels. The method further includes determining delay profile estimation between the first and second wireless nodes based on the first and second channel state information without phase alignment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using radio frequency signals and sensors to monitor environments (e.g., indoor building and adjacent outdoor environments) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system for providing a wireless asymmetric network comprises a hub having one or more processing units and at least one antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) communications in the wireless asymmetric network and a plurality of sensor nodes each having a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional RF communications with the hub in the wireless asymmetric network. The one or more processing units of the hub are configured to determine localization of the plurality of sensor nodes within the wireless asymmetric network, to monitor loading zones and adjacent regions within a building based on receiving information from at least two sensor nodes, and to determine for each loading zone whether a vehicle currently occupies the loading zone.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an asynchronous wireless system for localization of nodes comprises a first wireless node being configured to receive a first communication from a third wireless node having an unknown location, to determine time difference of arrival (TDoA) information of the reception of the first communication between each of the first and a second wireless node, to determine TDoA ranging including a relative or absolute position of the third wireless node using the time difference of arrival information, and to synchronize the first and second wireless nodes based on a second communication with the synchronization being decoupled in time from the first communication. In another embodiment, a computer implemented method comprises receiving, with first and second wireless anchor nodes, packets from a wireless arbitrary device and performing time difference of arrival ranging upon reception of the packets between each of the first and the second wireless anchor nodes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively determining locations of wireless nodes in a network architecture are disclosed herein. In one example, a system includes a first plurality of wireless sensor nodes each having a known location and a second plurality of wireless sensor nodes each having an unknown location in a wireless network architecture. One or more processing units of a wireless sensor node of the first plurality of wireless nodes are configured to execute instructions to determine distance estimates between the first plurality of wireless sensor nodes and the second plurality of wireless sensor nodes for localization, determine error metric information for each distance estimate, and adaptively select the determined distance estimates for localization based on the error metric information.
