TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING RANGING BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302518 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING RANGING BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a method for a mobile device to calculate frequency offsets for a wireless protocol by analyzing timestamps of ranging and response packets.
- The mobile device receives timestamps for ranging and response packets.
- It calculates responder turn-around time and responding round trip time based on these timestamps.
- The device also receives initiator turn-around time and initiator round trip time from an electronic device.
- By using these times, it calculates a frequency offset for the wireless protocol.
- It compares the observed frequency offset to the calculated one to determine any differences and make adjustments if needed.

Original Abstract Submitted
a mobile device may receive a plurality of timestamps, wherein the plurality of timestamps indicate sending and receiving time for ranging packets and response packets. the mobile device may calculate a responder turn-around time as a first difference between the second time and the first time. the mobile device may calculate a responding round trip time as a second difference between the second time and the third time. the mobile device may receive from the electronic device an initiator turn-around time and an initiator round trip time. the mobile device may calculate a frequency offset for the wireless protocol using the responder turn-around time, the responding round trip time, the initiator turn-around time, and the initiator round trip time. the mobile device may compare an observed frequency offset to the calculated frequency offset to determine a frequency offset difference and whether it exceeds a threshold, adjusting a ranging measurement.
