Beacon Localization For A Client Device In Wireless Environment Applications

A transceiver system positioned in an environment with a client power receiver, the transceiver system wirelessly communicatively coupled to the client power receiver, said transceiver system comprising:

• an antenna array including a plurality of elements, wherein each element of the plurality of elements is positioned relative to one another in a fixed geometry;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and coupled to the antenna array, the processor configured to:
• direct the each element to receive the signal from the client power receiver;
• determine, based at least in part on the fixed geometry, a value of at least one waveform characteristic of the signal received at the each element;
• compute, based on the determined value of the at least one waveform characteristic, a transmission path of the signal from the client power receiver to the each element;
• and
• assign, based on the computed transmission path, a location of the client power receiver in the environment.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon processor-executable program instructions which, when executed by a processor of a transceiver system including an antenna array coupled to the processor, cause the processor to:

• direct each element of a plurality of elements of the antenna array to receive a signal from a client power receiver;
• determine, based at least in part on a fixed geometry at which the each element is positioned relative to one another in the antenna array, a value of at least one waveform characteristic of the signal received at the each element;
• compute, based on the determined value of the at least one waveform characteristic, a transmission path of the signal from the client power receiver to the each element;
• and
• assign, based on the computed transmission path, a location of the client power receiver in an environment in which the transceiver system and the client power receiver are positioned.
