  • Patent number: 11791911
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a signal propagation type, the method comprises: when a positioning base station of an ultra-wideband positioning system currently receives a pulse response from a positioning tag, computing an actual value of a specified feature of the received pulse response at least using the received pulse response; selecting, for the specified feature, a predictive model for predicting an adopted value of the specified feature at a future moment on the basis of an adopted value of the specified feature at a historical moment; using the predictive model selected for the specified feature to acquire an adopted value of the specified feature at a future moment, to serve as a predicted value of the specified feature of the received pulse response; and determining the current type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and positioning tag on the basis of the actual value and predicted value of the specified feature of the received pulse

  • Patent number: 11558715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a signal propagation type. The method comprises: calculating a similarity value of a currently received pulse response and a reference pulse response when a certain positioning base station of a UWB positioning system currently receives a pulse response from a certain positioning tag, the similarity value indicating the degree of similarity between the currently received pulse response and the reference pulse response, wherein the reference pulse response is a pulse response previously received by the positioning base station from the positioning tag; and determining the current type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and the positioning tag on the basis of the similarity value. The method and apparatus can detect the type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and positioning tag of the UWB positioning system.

  • Patent number: 11500055
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a detection method and a detection apparatus, the method including: calculating, when a location base station in an ultra-wideband location system receives a pulse response, values of a plurality of specified pulse response characteristics using the received pulse response, and using the calculated values as values of the plurality of specified pulse response characteristics of the location base station; calculating differences between the values of the plurality of specified pulse response characteristics of the location base station and values of the plurality of specified pulse response characteristics of the location base station at a previous time, and using the calculated differences as variations of the plurality of specified pulse response characteristics of the location base station; determining, based on at least the variations of the plurality of specified pulse response characteristics of the location base station and by means of a trained classifier, whether signal propa
