Abstract:
A method measures a time from transmitting a ranging signal to receiving the ranging signal via a channel of a wireless network, and a received signal strength (RSS) of the ranging signal. A distance is estimated based on the time, and a path loss based on the RSS. Probabilities of conditions of the channel are estimated based on the distance and the path loss, wherein the condition is in one of line-of-sight (LOS), or non-LOS (NLOS).
