Provided are architectures, systems, methods, and computer program products for real-time object locating and position determination using frequency channel diversity for transmitting and receiving position determination signals including bursts of location signals. Channelized frequency diversity of a short burst of small location signals that “hop” across multiple frequency channels is used to collectively produce a quasi-wideband position determination signal. Object tags operating with frequency channel diversity for transmitting location signals of position determination signals require low power consumption, but can still efficiently provide adequate position determination signals for reliable position determination.
A method comprising estimating, by a computer, a position of an object based upon signals received from a plurality of receivers, wherein the signals comprise at least a first position determination signal that is generated by at least a portion of the plurality of receivers based on a location signal transmitted by an object on and within multiple first frequency channels in dynamically adjustable time duration bursts and a second position determination signal that is generated by at least a portion of the plurality of receivers based on the location signal transmitted by the object on and within multiple second frequency channels in dynamically adjustable time duration bursts.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-useable storage medium having control logic stored therein for effectuating position determination by a computer, the control logic comprising:
A wireless tag, comprising:
A method, comprising:
A receiver, comprising:
A method, comprising:
