Method and system for localization using radiating cables

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for localizing mobile devices. The method comprises the step of measuring power levels on opposing ends of a radiating cable. The radiating cable has an attenuator (102) located between said opposing ends (100,104). The radiating cable is adapted to be used for communicating with the mobile device. The method further comprises the step of comparing the power levels on the opposing ends of the radiating cable. Additionally, the method comprises the step of determining whether mobile devices (107,109) are communicating using the radiating cable on the basis of the measured power levels.
