A method, including: receiving, at an apparatus, first and second radio signals from a first location; discriminating the first and second radio signals, in order to estimate a bearing from the first location; and estimating, using the bearing and constraint information which is independent of the radio signals, a position of the apparatus.

Indoor positioning method, apparatus and system

An information system including subscriber stations (MS), at least two service sources (to) providing a respective service to subscriber stations of the system, and an access point () arranged to analyze a service request in order to forward the service request to the service source () offering the service, the service sources (to) being arranged to analyze a received service request in order to provide the subscriber station (MS) with the requested service. In order to improve the user friendliness of the system said system further includes a memory () for storing service requests which have led to successful identification of the requested service, and an error correction device () arranged to correct a received service request by utilizing the service requests stored in the memory () if no service source or no service can be identified.

Method of and a system for error correction of service requests in an information system

A system for indicating the relative direction of a target object or location as determined from the current position of a wireless communication device. The system employs Direction of Arrival determination using an antenna array for indicating the direction of a target device and includes facilities to activate a location-indicating transmission in a target device, the ability to request that a location-indicating transmission be activated in a remote target device, relevant information reception from a target device and the display of all potential target devices within effective transmission range of the wireless communication device.

System and methods for direction finding using a handheld device

A system for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication device (WCD) while executing a direction of arrival (DoA) estimation. The performance may be improved through device management, and may include the collection of information from one or more sensors installed within the WCD. The sensor information may initially be used to determine an appropriate configuration for the device. Further, the sensor information may also be used to affect the behavior of the device while performing the DoA estimation.

Performance and power management in direction of arrival determination by utilizing sensor information

A method and apparatus implement network planning in a radio system in a desired area. To determine transmitter coverage, a vector map describing the surroundings of the transmitter and containing a description of buildings and surfaces reflecting radio waves in the area is used. The transmitter signal strength is measured at points of a desired area. A subset is selected among the points, path attenuation is determined between all subset points using a ray tracing method, and the calculated values are stored in a memory. When performing network planning, a transmitter and a receiver are located at the points in the areas; a given number of the most significant signal paths among the possible signal propagation paths between the transmitter and the receiver is searched for using the values stored in the memory, and the transmitter signal strength is determined at the receipt location point using the ray tracing method.
