A self-organizing mesh network system is disclosed, comprising: at least one master node generating a timing reference signal; a plurality of regular nodes deriving time synchronization from the timing reference signal; and a wireless medium for communicating location and timestamp information among the plurality of regular nodes, The plurality of regular nodes may be configured to each use communicated location and timestamp information of nearby nodes to independently generate a location map of the nearby nodes. The plurality of regular nodes may be configured to accept an additional regular node. The plurality of regular nodes may be configured to allow a node of the plurality of regular nodes to exit the plurality of regular nodes. The plurality of regular nodes may each use communicated location and timestamp information of the plurality of regular nodes to independently generate a location map of each of the plurality of regular nodes.

Self-organizing hyper sync network

Described in this document are ways to accomplish high resolution and high dynamic range Doppler-Effect measurements for use in wireless communications and other applications such as positioning. Doppler Effect (interchangeably called Doppler shift or Doppler frequency shift) measurements have traditionally been done with purpose-built devices, such as pulse-based radars. Presented in this document are alternative ways to incorporate Doppler frequency shift measurement using modulated carrier signals with a conventional radio, without additional hardware.

High-resolution high-dynamic range doppler-effect measurement using modulated carrier signals

A method for determining an angle of arrival (AOA) of a received signal is disclosed, comprising: generating a baseband information signal by mixing a received signal with a local oscillator (LO) signal, the received signal being an in-phase signal and quadrature signal uncorrelated with each other and derived from different input data sets; obtaining baseband signal samples of the baseband information signal having an in-phase signal sample and a quadrature signal sample; determining a transmitter phase offset based on an estimated correlation between the in-phase signal samples and the quadrature signal samples; performing a plurality of phase measurements using a plurality of antennas to obtain a plurality of phase measurements; correcting the plurality of phase measurements based on the transmitter phase offset to produce a plurality of corrected phase measurement; and calculating an AOA of the received signal based on the difference between the plurality of corrected phase measurements.

Angle of arrival measurements using RF carrier synchronization and phase alignment methods

Methods and systems are described for frequency domain correction, time domain correction, and combinations thereof. Each Long Term Evolution (LTE) uplink residual frequency offset can be determined with less than 1 part per billion accuracy simultaneously and used for frequency offset correction. The disclosed method utilizes the same modulated signals for data and control as the 3GPP LTE wireless standard and can be embedded directly into the base station (downlink) PHY without additional hardware. The use of the disclosed methods provide multiple ways to simultaneously improve the uplink data throughput for every user in an LTE multiple access wireless system.
