Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure relates to a positioning system and a method based on a radio communication apparatus including multiple antennas, and more particularly, to a positioning system and a method of positioning a terminal using a communication apparatus including multiple antennas. The positioning system and the method based on a radio communication apparatus including multiple antennas calculate a position of a terminal using a single communication apparatus in which the multiple antennas are mounted and can calculate the position of the terminal more accurately by using two or more communication apparatuses. In addition, the positioning system and the method communicate with a transception apparatus, a relay station, or a wireless access point of an existing communication system, thereby accurately obtaining the position of the terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A positioning system based on a radio communication apparatus including multiple antennas, comprising: a communication apparatus including multiple antennas and generating or relaying a communication signal; and a position calculation module calculating a position of a terminal using a phase difference between signals that are transmitted from the multiple antennas to the terminal, wherein the position calculation module comprises a position calcul…
