FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of awireless communication system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Thewireless communication system 10 includes apositioning device 102 and awireless communication device 104. Thewireless positioning device 102 includes directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 for transmitting and receiving signal. Preferably, the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 are configured to direct toward different directions respectively. Thewireless positioning device 102 is capable of using the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 to scan and detect thewireless communication device 104, and therefore, decide the location of thewireless communication device 104 accordingly. - A directional antenna is an antenna which radiates higher power in one or more specific directions allowing for increased performance. The directional antenna has many advantages in a corresponding directional radiation pattern, such as high gain for desired signal, long transmission distance, better RSSI, low side lobe for interference, and low noise floor. In other words, the directional antenna is capable of concentrating the coverage pattern in one or more specific directions. This produces an almost conical-shaped coverage pattern (like a flashlight). Besides, the directionality of the directional antenna is specified by the angle of the beam width, which is from 90 degrees, to as little as 20 degrees. Please refer to
FIG. 2A toFIG. 2C , the directional antenna ANT1 is directed toward +Y-axis and the radiation pattern of the directional antennas antenna ANT1 can be represented inFIG. 2A . The directional antenna ANT2 and the directional antenna ANT3 are respectively directed toward −Y-axis and −z-axis, and the corresponding radiation patterns are represented inFIG. 2B andFIG. 2C respectively. In such a condition, as thewireless communication device 104 is located at a position P, there are different RSSI values measured by the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3. The RSSI value measured by the directional antenna ANT2 will be far larger than that measured by the antennas ANT1 and ANT3. As a result, in a two-dimensional space, each wireless communication device located at various positions will have a unique RSSI value combination corresponding to the antennas ANT1-ANT3. - Operations of the
wireless communication system 10 can be summarized into apositioning process 30 as shown inFIG. 3 . Note that the following steps are not limited to be performed according to the exact sequence shown inFIG. 3 if a roughly identical result can be obtained. Thepositioning process 30 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps: - Step 300: Start.
- Step 302: Provide reference information comprising a plurality of predetermined RSSI values corresponding to the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 receiving signals from a plurality of areas.
- Step 304: Utilize the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 to scan and detect the
wireless communication device 104. - Step 306: Calculate a plurality of RSSI values corresponding to the
wireless communication device 104 for the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3. - Step 308: Compare the plurality of detected RSSI values with the reference information to generate a comparison result.
- Step 310: Determine a location position of the
wireless communication device 104 according to the comparison result. - Step 312: End.
- Further description associated with the
positioning process 30 follows. Please refer toFIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of a predetermined map according to an embodiment of the invention. Suppose the coverage range of the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 is divided into areas A to AI as shown inFIG. 4 and thepositioning device 102 is located on the center of the predetermined map. - First, in
Step 302, thepositioning device 102 is able to establish the reference information for the following process. The reference information includes a plurality of predetermined RSSI values corresponding to the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 during receiving signals from the areas A to AI. For example, if each of the areas A to AI has one test wireless communication device, thepositioning device 102 can utilize each directional antenna to detect and calculate its corresponding RSSI value with every test wireless communication device. In detail, thepositioning device 102 can respectively utilize the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 to scan and communicate with each test wireless communication devices in the areas A to AI. Accordingly, thepositioning device 102 can calculate the corresponding RSSI values and record the corresponding RSSI values. Moreover, the calculated RSSI values for the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 can be used as the predetermined RSSI values, and thepositioning device 102 can further determine all the predetermined RSSI values to be the reference information. In other words, for every area, each of the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 has a corresponding predetermined RSSI value. - Furthermore, in
Step 304, when a user intends to find the location of thewireless communication device 104, thepositioning device 102 can utilize the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 to scan and detect thewireless communication device 104. - After that, in
Step 306, thepositioning device 102 calculates RSSI values RSSI_1 to RSSI_3 corresponding to thewireless communication device 104 for the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3. For example, thepositioning device 102 can calculate the RSSI value RSSI_1 for the directional antennas ANT1 during the directional antenna ANT1 receiving signals from thewireless communication device 104, calculate the RSSI value RSSI_2 for the directional antenna ANT2 during the directional antennas ANT2 receiving signals from thewireless communication device 104, and so on. In other words, the corresponding RSSI values between each directional antenna and thewireless communication device 104 can be obtained inStep 306. - In
Step 308, thepositioning device 102 begins to compare the calculated RSSI values RSSI_1 to RSSI_3 with the reference information to generate a comparison result. Thepositioning device 102 compares the calculated RSSI value RSSI_1 of the directional antennas ANT1 with the predetermined RSSI values (calculated in Step 302) corresponding to the directional antenna ANT1. Similarly, thepositioning device 102 compares the calculated RSSI value RSSI_2 of the directional antenna ANT2 with the predetermined RSSI values (calculated in Step 302) corresponding to the directional antenna ANT2, and so on. - Therefore, in
Step 310, thepositioning device 102 can determine a location position of thewireless communication device 104 according to the comparison result. When the comparison result indicates each of the detected RSSI values is equal to the predetermined RSSI value of the corresponding directional antenna receiving signals from a specific area, thepositioning device 102 determines the specific area to be the location position. For example, if the calculated RSSI value RSSI_1 is equal to the predetermined RSSI value of the directional antenna ANT1 of the area P, the calculated RSSI value RSSI_2 is equal to the predetermined RSSI value of the directional antenna ANT2 of the area P, and the calculated RSSI value RSSI_3 is equal to the predetermined RSSI value of the directional antenna ANT3 of the area P, then thepositioning device 102 can determine the area P is the location position of thewireless communication device 104. Therefore, through obtaining the corresponding RSSI value of each directional antenna, the user can quickly and accurately recognize the location position on the predetermined map of thewireless communication device 104. - Take a wireless local area network (WLAN) system as an example, please refer to
FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram of a WLAN system 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The WLAN system 50 includes anotebook 502 having directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 and access points AP1-AP3. In the WLAN system 50, thenotebook 502 can only access to the access points AP1-AP3 by the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 within the coverage range of the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3. First, thenotebook 502 calculates the corresponding predetermined RSSI values corresponding to the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 during receiving signals from the areas A to AI (Step 302). Please refer toFIG. 6 , which is a schematic diagram of a predetermined RSSI value corresponding to the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 according to an embodiment of the present invention. When a user intends to surf Internet, and likes to know which access point is available within the coverage range of the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 and where the available access point is located on the predetermined map, the user can operate thenotebook 502 to utilize the directional antennas ANT1-ANT3 to scan and communicate with each available access points (Step 304). After that, thenotebook 502 calculates RSSI values RSSI1_1 to RSSI1_3, RSSI2_1 to RSSI2_3, and RSSI3_1 to RSSI3_3. The RSSI values RSSI1_1 to RSSI1_3 are presented RSSI values between the directional antenna ANT1 and the access points AP1-AP3 respectively (Step 306). The RSSI values RSSI2_1 to RSSI2_3 are presented RSSI values between the directional antenna ANT2 and the access points AP1-AP3 respectively. The RSSI values RSSI3_1 to RSSI3_3 are presented RSSI values between the directional antenna ANT3 and the access points AP1-AP3 respectively. If the RSSI values RSSI1_1, RSSI2_1, and RSSI3_1 are respectively −33 dBm, −37 dBm, and −28 dBm, thenotebook 502 can determine access point AP1 is at the area F accordingly. Also, if the RSSI values RSSI1_2, RSSI2_2, and RSSI3_2 are respectively −86 dBm, −93 dBm, and −99 dBm, thenotebook 502 can determine access point AP2 is at the area AG accordingly. Such like this, thenotebook 502 can determine access point AP3 is at the area AI accordingly. - In addition, the
notebook 502 can display the location determination result of the access points AP1-AP3 on the display device. For example, please refer toFIG. 7 , the location determination result of the access points AP1-AP3 can be displayed with a radar map manner for indicating the access points AP1-AP3. - In summary, since the conventional wireless communication system uses omni-antennas to calculate the distance between the receiver and the signal source, the invention can offer a position method by utilizing directional antennas for realizing two-dimensional positioning purposes rapidly and accurately.
