Method and procedure for self discovery of small offfice or home interior structure by means of ultra-wideband pulse ranging techniques

摘要

A small office/home office base transceiver station including an ultra-wideband transceiver that transmits pulses on directional antenna array elements and monitoring for reflections. Directions from which a large number of reflections are detected are presumed to correspond to the interior of the building within which the base transceiver station is located, while directions from which few or no reflections are detected are presumed to correspond to outside walls. Transmit power gain for directional antenna array elements used for communications are then set to reduce transmission of power in directions that might result in interference with adjacent base transceiver stations.
