CROWD SENSING USING RADIO FREQUENCY SENSING FROM MULTIPLE WIRELESS NODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848528 titled 'CROWD SENSING USING RADIO FREQUENCY SENSING FROM MULTIPLE WIRELESS NODES
Simplified Explanation
Techniques are provided for using radio frequency sensing to obtain environmental information using wireless devices. This includes crowd sensing, environmental detection, and monitoring of crowd or road traffic.
- Radio frequency sensing is used to obtain environmental information using wireless devices.
- Assistance data is provided to the wireless devices to aid in radio frequency sensing.
- Radio frequency sensing reports are received from the wireless devices.
- Environmental characteristics, such as location, movement, or attributes of target objects, are determined based on the radio frequency sensing reports.
- This technology can assist in monitoring crowds, road traffic, and identifying/tracking specific individuals or vehicles.

- Improved crowd and traffic management
- Enhanced security and surveillance capabilities
- Efficient location tracking and navigation
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are provided for obtaining environmental information using radio frequency sensing by one or more wireless devices. An example method of crowd sensing and/or environmental detection using radio frequency sensing with one or more wireless devices includes providing radio frequency sensing assistance data to one or more wireless devices, receiving radio frequency sensing reports from the one or more wireless devices, determining one or more environmental characteristics based on the radio frequency sensing reports. Environmental characteristics can include a location or movement of one or more target objects, or attributes of one or more target objects (e.g., one or many people, vehicles, animals, drones or other target objects), or any combinations thereof. This may assist with monitoring of a crowd or road traffic and/or with identifying and tracking a particular person or vehicle.
