Methods and apparatuses for beacon assisted position determination systems

摘要: Methods and apparatuses for microcell beacon assisted position determination. In one embodiment, beacons that are based on low cost, mass market electronics wireless local area data communication (e.g., Bluetooth or WiFi) used to broadcast mobile stations location information and/or identification information, which can be look up the improve precision of solutions in a wide determination system GPS system, an AFLT hybrid system). site specific; and, distribution transmission strength adjusted prevent misidentification. have capability but not receiving communication; station has communication.
