  • said mobile UE is arranged for identifying a unique identification of one of said plurality of mesh communication nodes, and for determining by said UE, triggered by said identified unique identification, its location based on relative position information of said UE provided by said Inertial Navigation System of said UE starting from a base location, and for broadcasting, in said mesh network, said received unique identification with said determined location.
  • a mesh network may aid in providing connectivity when a user is in a location wherein wireless connectivity is difficult to obtain, for example undergrounds.
  • each of the mesh communication nodes may be limited to ensure that they do not consume a lot of power.
  • Each of the mesh communication nodes may be deployed with a battery, an antenna and some control logic. This allows a communication node to be reduced in size, for example the size of two or three money coins on top of each other.
  • the mesh communication nodes do not need to provide power for an extensive amount of time.
  • the battery of the mesh communication node may be designed in such a way that the mesh communication node is able to function for one or a plurality of subsequent days. After which, the mesh communication node may either be thrown away, or may be recharged again.

  • An insulated top cap may be the negative terminal.
  • the wireless mesh nodes may be left behind in a tunnel by a user. The user may carry a plurality of mesh nodes into the tunnel, and may drop a particular mesh node every several feet or so. This ensures that a mesh network is build up during the process of walking through the tunnel.
  • An inertial navigation system is a navigation aid that uses motion sensors, for example accelerometers, rotation sensors, for example gyroscopes, and occasionally magnetic sensors, for example magnetometers, to calculate the position, and sometimes also the orientation and the velocity, i.e. the direction and speed of movement, of a User Equipment without the need for external references.

  • the communication and navigation system in accordance with the present disclosure is most effective in situation wherein wireless connectivity is limited, for example underground.
  • the communication and navigation system may, for example, also be used in different situations like indoor, on a ship, in remote locations or anywhere alike.
  • the communication and navigation system may be described as follows.
  • the mesh communication nodes do not need to be placed on pre-defined or known positions.
  • a particular mesh communication node may, in a first option, i.e. aspect a) as disclosed above, be able to determine its own location based on information received from UE that pass that particular mesh communication node. This may be accomplished in at least two ways. First, a UE may transmit its location to the mesh communication node, and the mesh communication node may use that particular location as if it is its own location. The mesh communication node thus passively determines that the received location is its own location.
  • the mesh communication node may receive location information multiple times, for example from the same UE that passes the mesh communication node multiple times or from different UE. In such a case, the mesh communication node may average all the received location information to determine its own location. This may improve the accuracy of the determined location.
  • the UE may be equipped with an Inertial Navigation System for determining the location of the UE, starting from an initial position.
  • the initial position is called the (absolute) base location.
  • the Inertial Navigation System thus determines the location of the UE starting from this particular base location.
  • the location information of the UE, determined by the Inertial Navigation System based on the base location may be provided to the particular mesh communication node.
  • the mesh communication node may use this information to determine its own location.
  • the UE may provide the location information of the corresponding UE provided by the Inertial Navigation System of the UE, and may provide the base location of the UE from which the location of the UE was determined.
  • the particular mesh communication node is able to determine the actual location of the UE itself. This also includes that the actual location of the UE is determined by the UE itself, which is then communicated to the particular mesh communication node.
  • the particular mesh communication node may not need to determine or know its own location. This option is based on the insight that the UE itself determines the location of a particular mesh communication node based on a unique identification of that particular mesh communication node. The unique identification may then be correlated with the determined location, and both may be broadcasted within the mesh network. The location of the mesh communication node may then considered to be stored in the mesh network by a plurality of UE, i.e. in a distributed manner.
  • the unique identification of a particular mesh communication node may be received in a message, may be scanned using QR tags or may be transferred using RFID technology, or anything alike.
  • the unique identification is the MAC address of the corresponding mesh communication node.
  • a UE receiving the broadcasted information is then thus aware of the location of the particular mesh communication node, based on the unique identification.
  • the location of a particular mesh communication node may continuously be updated as multiple UE pass that particular mesh communication node.
  • the mesh communication node, or a particular UE, may thus average all the location information to, more accurately, determine the location of the corresponding particular mesh communication node.
  • the communication and navigation system is deployable in a flexible manner. Any person may simply “drop” mesh communication nodes wherever he/she so desires, i.e. in a random manner.
  • the Inertial Navigation System of the UE provides relative position information starting from a base location.
  • the base location may be an absolute location.
  • one of the plurality of mesh communication nodes may be equipped with a GPS module. This particular mesh communication node may be placed at the entry of a tunnel, where GPS reception is still possible.
  • the GPS coordinated of that particular mesh communication node may be used by the Inertial Navigation System as the base location once the UE passes that particular mesh communication node.
  • the base location is not an absolute location but a relative location. This means that there is no need for the UE to have the actual absolute locations of the mesh communication nodes, but that, in this case, the relative positions of the mesh communication nodes with respect to each other is determined. An UE that passes multiple mesh communication nodes may then be aware of all the relative positions of these mesh communication nodes with respect to each other.
  • the absolute locations of all these mesh communication nodes may be determined and may be, for example, plotted on a map.
  • the system may comprise a gateway communication node arranged for providing communication between an external communication network and a mesh network.
  • the user may use the mesh network, using a hopping scheme, to reach the gateway communication node.
  • Each of the mesh communication nodes is then, for example, not in direct contact with the external communication network.
  • the external communication network is reached by hopping from the UE via one or more intermediate mesh communication nodes to the gateway communication node.
  • the gateway communication node is the node that is responsible for communicating to the external network, and for communicating with the mesh network. As such, the gateway communication node is the entry, and exit, point to the mesh communication network.
  • said mobile UE is further arranged for:
  • the wireless mesh nodes are placed on underground locations underground, i.e. in the tunnels.
  • an Inertial navigation system is based on a relative movement, starting from an initial point of reference.
  • These averaged locations may be used, by the User Equipment, to reset, or re-initialize, its location underground. That is, the averaged locations may be used as a base location. This improves the accuracy of the establishment of the location.
  • one of said plurality of mesh communication nodes is arranged for:
  • the above described example may thus be advantageous as the location of a particular mesh communication node may become more and more accurate the more UE pass that particular mesh communication node.
  • said mobile comprises a register, said register comprising unique identifications of a plurality of mesh communication nodes, the corresponding locations as well as corresponding margin of uncertainty of said locations,
  • said UE is arranged for:
  • the location of a particular mesh communication node may not need to be stored on the particular mesh communication node itself.
  • the location information may be stored in each of the plurality of UE.
  • the UE may need to maintain some sort of margin of uncertainty which is directed to the expected accuracy of the determined location of the particular mesh communication node. For example, it may be related to the number of UE’s that have pass that particular UE, i.e. the number of determined locations of the corresponding particular mesh communication node.
  • the above described examples are directed to the concept that a plurality of inertial measurements may be used for improving the location determination of a particular mesh node. Subsequently, if the location of a particular mesh node is improved, that particular mesh node may serve as a beacon for improving the location information of any UE passing that particular mesh node. That is, the location of that particular mesh node may be considered a base location.
  • the location of the mesh node is improved by averaging a plurality of inertial measurements made by one or more UE. It is noted that the accuracy of an inertial measurement decreases by increasing distances travelled. However, the inventors have found that averaging a plurality of inertial measurements would again increase the accuracy of the location as it may compensate for any potential drifting errors.
  • the distances travelled may be controlled, by the system, by re-initiating the Inertial system whenever a particular UE passes a mesh node having a determined location, which may then be considered a base location. This further improves the location determination process of any of the mesh nodes.
  • each of said plurality of mesh communication nodes may operate in accordance with any of:
  • LoRa based communication protocol may be useful as that may result in a low power mesh communication node.
  • the design, implementation, of the mesh communication node does then not pose huge requirements on the battery comprised by the mesh communication node.
  • Another advantage of a LoRa based communication protocol is that it is highly secure. LoRa uses a spread spectrum modulation which makes it hard to intercept and interpret by third parties.
  • each of said plurality of mesh communication nodes is arranged for broadcasting, in said mesh network, a communication received from any UE.

  • Another option is that the mesh communication nodes as well as the User Equipment are equipped with Radio Frequency Identification tags/readers such that a mesh communication node is able to detect the presence of the User Equipment.
  • a mesh communication node may transmit the location of the UE to other UE in the mesh communication network, or to the external communication network. This may be used to track a particular UE underground, i.e. through the tunnel complex.
