  • Patent number: 12231987
    Abstract: This technology allows for determining the location of client devices via radio scanning for triggered orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (“OFDMA”) uplinks. Access points (“APs”) are configured for OFDMA transmissions. A first AP transmits a trigger frame on particular channel to stations in the wireless network. Neighboring APs scan channels for trigger frames (“TF”). Upon detection of a TF, neighboring APs associate a station identifier with a frequency allocation, or resource unit, in the TF. The neighboring APs receive an OFDMA uplink from the stations, determine a received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”) value for each frequency allocation in the OFDMA uplink, and transmit the RSSI values with the associated station identifier to the first AP. The first AP determines the location of each station by mapping a distance value to the RSSI values.

  • Publication number: 20250039639
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, computer readable medium, and circuits for tracking location by a positioning service. According to at least one example, a method includes: receiving distance measurements from a first anchor device; determining a trust value associated with a path between the first anchor device and a second anchor device based on the distance measurements, wherein the trust value corresponds to whether the path is obstructed; determining a first measurement interval to measure a distance from the first anchor device to the second anchor device based on a single-sided measurement and a second measurement interval to measure the distance from the first anchor device to the second anchor device based on a double-sided measurement; and sending an anchor configuration to the first anchor device including the first measurement interval for the single-sided measurement and the second measurement interval for the double-sided measurement of the second anchor device.

  • Publication number: 20190347355
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine an initial classification for a content item based on one or more non-social signals associated with the content item. It can be determined whether to monitor the content item based on the initial classification. A subsequent classification for the content item can be determined based on at least one or more social signals associated with the content item after a determination to monitor the content item.
