  • Publication number: 20240118081
    Abstract: Calibrating an unstable sensor of a mobile device. Systems and methods for calibrating a sensor of a mobile device determine a first estimated position of the mobile device without using any measurement from the sensor of the mobile device, generate a second estimated position of the mobile device using a measurement from the sensor, estimate a sensor error of the sensor using the first estimated position and the second estimated position, and use the sensor error to determine a calibration value for adjusting one or more measurements from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10598757
    Abstract: Estimating range bias in a timing-based radio positioning network. Systems and methods estimate range bias, and use the estimated bias to adjust an estimated range measurement for use in estimating a position of a receiver. Estimated range bias may be based on surveyed range errors associated with locations near the position of the receiver, or may alternatively be based on comparisons of different range measurements.

  • Patent number: 9933526
    Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating error associated with one or more range measurements that are used to estimate the position of a receiver. Estimations of range error may be based on surveyed range errors associated with locations near the position of the receiver. Estimations of range error may alternatively be based on comparisons of actual movement by the receiver to estimated movement between estimates of the receiver's positions.

  • Publication number: 20140266910
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for estimating error associated with one or more range measurements that are used to estimate the position of a receiver. Estimations of range error may be based on surveyed range errors for nearby position estimates.
