CONTEXTUAL CORRECTION OF WIRELESS SIGNAL-STRENGTH SENSING FOR TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

The invention is directed to a signal-strength compensating unit (100) for providing a temperature-compensated received-signal-strength indication value of a wireless signal (W) received by an external wireless receiver from an external wireless transmitter (106). It comprises a status determination unit (108) configured to ascertain operation condition data indicative of at least one current condition suitable for affecting a respective temperature of a wireless-signal reception unit (105) of the external wireless receiver or of a wireless-signal transmission unit (107) of the external wireless transmitter and a compensation-parameter determination unit (110) configured to determine and provide a signal-strength compensation parameter associated to one or more conditions suitable for affecting the respective temperature of the wireless-signal reception unit or of the wireless-signal transmission unit, and to determine a temperature-compensated received signal-strength indication value based thereon, without having to directly determine a temperature value.
