Abstract

An electronic device includes memory circuitry, interface circuitry, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to transmit, to a plurality of electronic reference devices, a first signal, the first signal having a pulse width below a threshold. The processor circuitry is configured to determine, based on the received second signals and at least one predetermined time period, a time of flight of each of the second signals. The processor circuitry is configured to obtain, from the memory circuitry, reference positions of the plurality of electronic reference devices. The processor circuitry is configured to determine, based on the associations, one or more candidate positions of the electronic device. The processor circuitry is configured to determine, based on the distances, the one or more candidate positions, and the obtained reference positions, a position of the electronic device.
