BARRIER TYPE DETECTION USING TIME-OF-FLIGHT AND RECEIVE SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17731850 Titled 'BARRIER TYPE DETECTION USING TIME-OF-FLIGHT AND RECEIVE SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes techniques for using wireless devices to detect and categorize barriers between devices. It explains a method where a user equipment receives a request from a wireless node and then determines two different range measurements to the wireless node using different positioning techniques. Based on these range measurements, the user equipment decides whether to allow or deny the request.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are provided for utilizing wireless devices to detect and classify barriers between devices. An example method performed by a user equipment for authorizing a device-to-device request includes receiving a request from a wireless node, determining a first range measurement to the wireless node using a first positioning technique, determining a second range measurement to the wireless node using a second positioning technique that is different from the first positioning technique, and allowing or denying the request based on the first range measurement and the second range measurement.
