A wireless positioning system for detecting a positioning coordinate of a person comprises a wireless positioning device for sending a wireless broadcast signal comprising a device identity code and a motion vector; a plurality of wireless base stations for receiving the wireless broadcast signal and sending a positioning signal comprising a wireless broadcast signal and an RSSI; and a positioning server for receiving the positioning signal and calculating the positioning coordinates of the wireless positioning device according to the positioning signal. Wherein, when the received positioning signal is insufficient to calculate the positioning coordinates, the positioning coordinates are calculated based on the last positioning coordinate plus the motion vector. Compared with the prior art, the wireless positioning system of the present invention uses the RSSI to cooperate with the motion vector. The wireless positioning range is expanded with more accuracy.

Embodiments relate to a deployment of a master radio in conjunction with one or more slave radios. The master radio coordinates with a UE, or transmitter, to transmit a particular known set of wireless signals in a defined time window over a dedicated wireless connection between the UE and the master radio. The master radio separately coordinates with the one or more slave radios to monitor for and measure the dedicated wireless connection during the defined time window (e.g., to obtain AoA measurements, signal strength measurements, etc.). The measurements can be reported to the master radio or a separate measurement processing unit to facilitate a location determination of the UE.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader includes an RFID module configured to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal, a power divider configured to divide the generated RF signal into a plurality of RF signals having a same power, at least one antenna configured to transmit the divided RF signals, and a sensor configured to detect an object within a predetermined area and transmit a result of the detection of the object to the RFID module.

Localization of the mobile device uses a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme involving base stations, where localization is accomplished by sending a positioning request to the base stations, and receiving base station coordinate information and direction of arrival (DoA) information from the base stations. Distance information is computed based on the base station coordinate information. A location of the mobile device is determined based on the DoA information and the distance information.
