Patent number: 11689887Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for improving performance of a radio-based positioning system by detecting and excluding mobile radio nodes. The disclosed approach involves processors (e.g., of positioning server(s) and/or of a computing device) making a determination (i) that a speed of a computing device is at or above a threshold speed, and (ii) that at least one condition is met, the at least one condition indicating that a radio node is moving substantially along with the computing device. In response to making the determination, the processors may deem the radio node to be a mobile node. Given this, the processors may in turn exclude the radio node for positioning purposes, which may ultimately improve performance of the radio-based positioning system.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: HERE GLOBAL B.V.Inventors: Henri Jaakko Julius Nurminen, Mikko Blomqvist
