Abstract
Methods and systems for measuring wireless signals are described. The method includes generating a velocity estimate that includes a speed and a direction of a wireless receiver. A change in the velocity estimate is detected and how frequently the wireless signal is measured is adjusted according to the change detected in the velocity estimate. Systems may include wireless receivers that include an accelerometer that is operable to generate a velocity estimate that includes speed and direction of the wireless receiver. The wireless receivers may also include a processor operable to adjust a measurement period of the wireless signal in the wireless receiver according to a rate of change in the velocity estimate.
Claims20
A method for measuring a wireless signal, comprising;
- generating a velocity estimate comprising a speed and a direction of a wireless receiver;
- detecting a change in the velocity estimate;
- and
- adjusting how frequently the wireless signal is measured according to the change in the velocity estimate.
A wireless receiver for measuring a wireless signal, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to generate a velocity estimate comprising speed and direction of the wireless receiver and adjust a frequency at which the wireless signal is measured by the wireless receiver according to a detected change in the velocity estimate.
