Title: Pete Allen Boyer and Frequency-Aware Wireless Positioning.

Introduction

Pete Allen Boyer is an inventor associated with Chocowinity, North Carolina, and Qualcomm Incorporated. His patent work addresses wireless positioning, where frequency-dependent signal propagation can affect how accurately a user device is located.

Latest Patents

Boyer is named on 1 patent: “Hybrid Positioning Based on Frequency Dependent Propagation Effects.” The patent describes techniques in which a server obtains the channel frequency used by a transmission-reception point (TRP) for positioning a user device with positioning reference signals. The server applies a frequency-scaled filtering-distance model using the channel frequency, the TRP’s nominal frequency, a first filtering distance, and a decay parameter. This calculation helps determine whether recorded access-point positions are close enough to the TRP to be used in the positioning procedure.

Career Highlights

Boyer’s listed patent reflects work on improving wireless positioning by accounting for how propagation effects vary with frequency. The disclosed approach can help a positioning system decide which recorded access-point locations are suitable for use in estimating a device’s position.

Collaborations

The patent lists Joel Morrin as a coworker. Boyer is associated with Qualcomm Incorporated, a company active in wireless communications technology.

Conclusion

Pete Allen Boyer’s patent contribution focuses on adapting wireless positioning methods to frequency-dependent propagation, helping determine when recorded access-point positions can support a user-device location procedure.
