METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING DISTANCE IN A WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for measuring a distance in a wireless environment, comprising:
- transmitting a distance measurement signal to a second device and receiving at least one response signal for the distance measurement signal from the second device by a first device;
matching the received response signal with a reference signal to detect an earliest response signal by the first device; and
calculating a time taken from the transmission of the distance measurement signal to the second device and the reception of the response signal from the second device using a peak value of the matched reference signal by the first device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for measuring a distance in a wireless environment are provided, in which a first device transmits a distance measurement signal to a second device and receives at least one response signal for the distance measurement signal from the second device, matches the received response signal with a reference signal to detect an earliest response signal, and calculates a time taken from the transmission of the distance measurement signal to the second device and the reception of the response signal from the second device using a peak value of the matched reference signal.
