Patent number: 6968194Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing location finding measurements in a wireless local area network (WLAN) provides a low cost mechanism for correcting location measurements within a WLAN location finding system. Multiple location receivers compute the time-of-arrival (TOA) of a reference transmitter signal, which is generally a beacon signal. The TOAs are collected and reported to a master unit that contains stored predetermined position information for the location receivers. The master unit computes the time-differences-of-arrival (TDOA) between multiple receivers and computes differences between the measured TDOAs and theoretical TDOAs computed in conformity with the predetermined position of each location receiver. The deviations between theoretical and measured TDOAs are collected in a statistical sample set and Kalman filters are used to produce a model of location receiver timebase offset and drift over multiple received beacon signals.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2003Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Assignee: AeroScout, Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Aljadeff, Yair Granot

Patent number: 6963289Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag system provides location finding in a wireless local area network (WLAN), using a WLAN channel. Interference with the WLAN is prevented by either using a sniffer circuit to determine that no network transmission is in progress, using a modified coding sequence or preamble to cause standard WLAN receivers to ignore the RFID tag transmissions, or transmitting a message using a standard WLAN signal addressed to an address not corresponding to a unit within the WLAN. Location units (LUs) and a master unit (MU) within the WLAN receive the RFID tag transmissions and can determine the location of a tag by triangulation based on differences between the signals received at the location units from the tag. The master unit receives the signal information from the location units and computes the location of the tag. Time-difference-of-Arrival (TDOA), received signal strength indication (RSSI) or other triangulation techniques may be used.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: AeroScout, Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Aljadeff, Yair Granot, Shalom Tsruya, Reuven Amsalem

Publication number: 20040203870Abstract: A method and system for location finding in a wireless local area network (LAN) enables enhanced security via network intrusion management and connection access management, as well as providing a mechanism for physically mapping a wireless network. Multiple receivers are employed to determine time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) of signals transmitted from a wireless device. The location of the transmitting device is determined by triangulating between multiple receivers. The receivers may be devices within the wireless network that have been enhanced to include TDOA capability, or multiple dedicated location units may be employed within the wireless network or a wired network that may be a completely separate infrastructure depending on the requirements of a particular installation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2002Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventors: Daniel Aljadeff, Yair Granot, Shalom Tsruya
