Abstract
An exemplary method for indexing transceivers uses wireless ranging functionality. The method includes determining a ranging distance between at least one transceiver and each other transceiver in a plurality of transceivers, determining a transceiver spatial distribution based on the ranging distance between at least one transceiver and each other transceiver in the plurality of transceivers, and indexing each transceiver by applying the transceiver spatial distribution to a spatial distribution map using an electronic control unit (ECU).
Claims16
A method for indexing transceivers using wireless ranging functionality, comprising:
- determining a ranging distance between at least one transceiver and each other transceiver in a plurality of transceivers;
- determining a transceiver spatial distribution based on the ranging distance between at least one transceiver and each other transceiver in the plurality of transceivers;
- and
- indexing each transceiver by applying the transceiver spatial distribution to a spatial distribution map using an electronic control unit (ECU), wherein indexing each transceiver comprises identifying a distinct location of each transceiver.
An electronic control unit (ECU) comprising:
- a processor, a memory, and at least one antenna;
- the controller being configured to cause each transceiver in a plurality of transceivers determining a ranging distance between each transceiver and each other transceiver in a plurality of transceivers, and configured to determining a transceiver spatial distribution based on the ranging distance between each transceiver and each other transceiver in the plurality of transceivers and index each transceiver by identifying a distinct mounting location of each transceiver within a vehicle by applying the transceiver spatial distribution to a spatial distribution map of a vehicle containing the ECU.
