==POSITIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526234 titled 'POSITIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The positioning system described in the patent application involves a target device and multiple base stations, including a master base station and multiple slave base stations. The master base station is connected with the first slave base station and transmits positioning information and synchronization messages to the target device and other slave base stations.

* The system includes a master base station and multiple slave base stations connected in a synchronization order.
* The master base station transmits positioning information and synchronization messages to the target device and slave base stations.
* Each slave base station transmits positioning information to the target device.
* The target device calculates its location based on inter-station delay, base station location, and timing of receiving positioning information.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Indoor navigation systems
* Asset tracking systems
* Autonomous vehicles

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves issues related to:
* Accurate positioning in indoor environments
* Reliable communication between base stations and target devices

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved accuracy in determining location
* Enhanced reliability in communication
* Scalability for large deployment areas

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
A potential commercial application for this technology could be in:
* Retail stores for customer tracking
* Warehouses for inventory management
* Hospitals for equipment tracking

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
* GPS systems for outdoor positioning

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the system handle interference from other wireless signals? ===
The patent application does not provide details on how the system mitigates interference from other wireless signals.

=== What is the power consumption of the target device in this system? ===
The patent application does not mention the power consumption of the target device while using this positioning system.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A positioning system includes a target device and multiple base stations connected with the target device. The multiple base stations include a master base station and multiple slave base stations that include a first slave base station and a second slave base station and are serially connected based on a synchronization order. The master base station is connected with the first slave base station. The master base station transmits a first positioning information to the target device and transmits a synchronization message to the multiple slave base stations based on the synchronization order. Each of the slave base stations transmits a second positioning information to the target device. The target device obtains location information of the target device based on an inter-station delay, a base station location, a first time receiving the first positioning information, and a second time receiving the second positioning information.
