LOCATION TRACKING MULTIPLE ACCESS PROTOCOL OF A BASE STATION

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a here-i-am (HIA) transmission on a first RF channel, a registration (REG) transmission on a second RF channel and a location tacking messaging (LOC) transmission on a third RF channel is operable to identify location between a network and beacons using a wireless communications channel that permits the beacons to be tracked by the network for location of the beacons.

主权项

1. A computer-accessible medium having processor-executable instructions for wireless communication at a network base station receiver between the network base station receiver and a beacon, the processor-executable instructions capable of directing a processor to perform:
receiving a here-i-am (HIA) transmission in accordance with a first pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern and a timing of the first pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern, the HIA transmission including:
information representative of one of a second pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern,timing of the second pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern,wherein the HIA transmission is a short transmission that does not include a serial number of the network base station receiver; receiving the REG transmission that is synchronized to the HIA transmission on the second pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern and in reference to the timing of the second pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern, the REG transmission being synchronized to the HIA transmission including the serial number of the network base station receiver, including the information representative of a third plurality of the pseudo-random frequency hopping patterns and including the information representative of the timing of the third plurality of frequency hopping patterns; and receiving a location tracking messaging (LOC) transmission that is synchronized to the REG transmission on a third plurality of the pseudo-random frequency hopping patterns and in accordance with the timing of the third pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern, the LOC transmission not including the serial number of the network base station receiver and the data not including the information representative of the timing and information representative of the one of the plurality of the pseudo-random frequency hopping patterns, wherein the 12 radio frequency channels and the 42 radio frequency channels are mutually exclusive and have no radio frequency channels in common between the 12 radio frequency channels and the 42 radio frequency channels.
