MOBILE ULTRA WIDE BAND CONSTELLATIONS

摘要

A mobile positional constellation system determines a mobile devices relative position using a plurality of UWB transceivers affixed to a platform. The platform, which itself can be mobile, includes a plurality of UWB transceivers and a trilateration module. The mobile device, which can also have one or more UWB transceivers, exchanges one or more signals with the platform to determine a relative position with respect to the platform through trilateration. With an established relative position established behavior of the mobile device can be augmented. The synchronous capability of UWB signals provides a user with direct control of a mobile device in austere conditions including those in which GPS is denied.
