Orientation Determination of a Wireless Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271204 titled 'Orientation Determination of a Wireless Device

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes mechanisms for determining the orientation of a wireless device with respect to a coordinate system.

  • Obtaining first angular measurements of the wireless device at a first access node and second angular measurements of the first access node at the wireless device.
  • Aligning the second angular measurements with the first angular measurements to determine the rotation of the second coordinate system with respect to the first coordinate system.
  • Defining the orientation of the wireless device with respect to the first coordinate system based on the amount of rotation.

Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided mechanisms for orientation determination of a wireless device with respect to a first coordinate system. A method is performed by a control unit. The method comprises obtaining first angular measurements of the wireless device at a first access node and second angular measurements of the first access node at the wireless device. The first access node is oriented in the first coordinate system. The wireless device is oriented in a second coordinate system. The method comprises determining, by aligning the second angular measurements with the first angular measurements, an amount of rotation of the second coordinate system with respect to the first coordinate system. The orientation of the wireless device with respect to the first coordinate system is defined by the amount of the rotation.
