<p>A transmitter device transmits an ultrasonic signal encoding a binary identifier. Each bit position in the identifier is associated with a pair of frequencies and with first and second time positions in the signal. The bit value determines which of the pair of frequencies is transmitted at the first time position, with the other being transmitted at the second time position. A receiver device receives the signal. Each bit position of the identifier is decoded based on the strength of the received signal at (a) the first frequency and first time position associated with the particular bit position, (b) the associated first frequency and second time position, (c) the associated second frequency and first time position, and (d) the associated second frequency and second time position. The decoded identifier is used to determine information relating to the position of a mobile one of the devices.</p> |
