Geometrical scheduling algorithm for acoustic positioning beacons

Described is an improved active-beacon/passive-listener time difference of arrival navigation system that relies on the multiple beacons to transmit uncoded acoustic pulses of a same frequency that propagate in the system at a same time for high-speed device tracking.

Zusammenfassung:Described is an improved active-beacon/passive-listener time difference of arrival navigation system that relies on the multiple beacons to transmit uncoded acoustic pulses of a same frequency that propagate in the system at a same time for high-speed device tracking. Listening devices may receive multiple encoded radio frequency pulses (RF) prior to a single acoustic pulse, and then resolve which RF pulse corresponds to the acoustic pulse using triangulation techniques.
