  • Publication number: 20230412286
    Abstract: In a radio network system containing a first radio apparatus that performs central control and a second radio apparatus, the second radio apparatus receives a first signal containing first identification information indicating a transmission source during a first reception period, receives a second signal containing second identification information indicating a transmission source during a second reception period, measures first reception information on reception of the first signal, measures second reception information on reception of the second signal, and transmits first measurement information containing the first reception information and the first identification information and second measurement information containing the second reception information and the second identification information to the first radio apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230231635
    Abstract: A mobile radio apparatus transmits to a plurality of fixed radio apparatuses, a fingerprint that indicates a reception strength distribution of radio signals from the plurality of fixed radio apparatuses. Each of the plurality of fixed radio apparatuses in which a learning model is installed inputs the fingerprint to the learning model and transmits a degree of proximity of the mobile radio apparatus output from the learning model to another one or more of the plurality of fixed radio apparatuses, and determines a position of the mobile radio apparatus, based on a first degree of proximity output from the learning model and a second degree of proximity received from the other one or more of the plurality of fixed radio apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 11589275
    Abstract: A terminal device includes: transmission circuitry that transmits a connection request to a first access point in order to connect, by a wireless link, to one of the first access point or a second access point each having a superframe in an initial state in which a control channel period is longer than a data channel period; and reception circuitry that receives, as a connection response, information indicating the second access point as information on a connection destination access point from the first access point after the connection request is transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20220361139
    Abstract: Provided is a position estimation method for a stationary radio device, the method including: calculating a first similarity between a first fingerprint measured by the stationary radio device at a first timing and a second fingerprint measured by a mobile radio device at a second timing and transmitted from the mobile radio device; receiving, from another stationary radio device, a second similarity between a third fingerprint measured by the other stationary radio device at the first timing and the second fingerprint; and determining, a position of the mobile radio device based on a comparison result between the first similarity and the second similarity.

  • Publication number: 20210409909
    Abstract: This position estimation system comprises a first wireless node for forming a wireless area; second wireless nodes which move within the wireless area; a plurality of third wireless nodes which are provided within the wireless area; and a position estimation device which estimates the position of the second wireless nodes on the basis of information indicating wireless reception quality at the third wireless nodes and the second wireless nodes. The position estimation device determines, for each of section areas, and on the basis of information pertaining to time resource capacity for wireless communication directed towards second wireless nodes, section areas which collect, in place of the first wireless node, information containing wireless reception quality at the second wireless nodes, and transmits, to one of third wireless nodes provided in the determined section area, and instruction to collect wireless reception quality at second wireless nodes within said section area.
