17、 that provides in real-time the physical location and the tracking of as-sets, human resources, or any other category of mobile items. This series ofstandards is intended to foster compatibility and interoperability of RTLS. There arethree standards in this series. Two airwave interface protocols ar

A manufacturer may have more than one ID number. As reported from the RTLS Server to the API, the first 16 bits are

35、ITS 371.1-2003 6 5 Air Interface Protocol Specifications ANSI INCITS 371.1 defines the 2.400- to 2.4835-GHz RTLS spread-spectrum transmissions and the command/data level air interface communication protocols. These protocols facilitate communication be-tween a compliant RTLS transmitter and a compli

36、ant infrastructure. The timing parameters and signal characteristics for the protocols are defined in the physical link specification in clause 5.3. 5.1 Introduction A beacon type RTLS system architecture consists of RTLS transmitters that “blink” a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signal and

37、fixed position RTLS readers that receive those signals. The system then determines the x, y location of the RTLS transmitters. Location of tagged assets can be determined with better than 3m accuracy in most environments, indoors and out. Once the location of the RTLS transmitter is determined, the

38、location information and any other information is passed to the host applica-tion. Additionally, an option that provides the ability to transmit telemetry data is defined. 5.2 Functional Description The RTLS transmitter module is typically a compact internally powered radio frequency device that is

39、a component of the RTLS system. The RTLS system is designed to track and locate items with attached RTLS transmitters. Each locatable transmission is a pulse of direct sequence spread spectrum radio sig-nal. The RTLS infrastructure receives these signals, or blinks. The blink is a short ID-only mess

40、age or a longer telemetry message also containing the RTLS transmitters ID. Each transmission also contains a status data word that provides information on the RTLS transmitter configuration, battery status and other data. The RTLS transmitters ID, status data word and location are provided to the h

41、ost by the RTLS In-frastructure. Multiple RTLS transmitters may be present in typical installations allowing a large number of items to be tracked and located in real time. Anticollision synchronization protocols are not required. Each “blink” is comprised of multiple sub-blinks. The sub-blinks are

42、part of a multiple level antiinterference system; time diversity, spatial diversity, proc-essing gain. The combination of these multiple sub-blinks, multiple receiving antennas and spread spec-trum correlation also allow multiple RTLS transmitters to blink simultaneously and still be received. The R

43、TLS transmitter data shall be binary encoded with the MSB (Most Significant Bit) transmitted first in all messages. It is differentially encoded using the example circuit of Figure 1. The output of the encoder shall be initialized to 1. It shall be exclusively ORd with the output of the PN (Pseudo N

44、oise) generator, modulated using a BPSK (Bi-Phase Shift Keyed) format and upconverted using a single sideband upcon-verter. The signal is then amplified and transmitted to the RTLS infrastructure.

47、 format of the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmission from the RTLS transmitter is shown in Figure 4. Each DSSS transmission from the RTLS transmitter contains a “blink” packet contain-ing N sub-blinks. Each set of sub-blinks can be one of four message lengths. All sub-blinks within a “

48、blink” shall be identical to provide time diversity. Each sub-blink includes the RTLS transmitters 32-bit ID, 4-bits of status data, CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) data and optional telemetry data depending on the type of message. The “blink” packet occurs at the beginning of the blink interval. Su

49、b-blinks shall be separated by an interval, which is not user configurable. The number of sub-blinks per blink and the blink interval are configurable. Figure 4 DSSS Air Interface Protocol Three classes of DSSS blinks are defined; Timed Interval Blink (TIB), Exciter Blink (EXB), and Event Blink (EB). TIBs transmit at a preprogrammed rate. Event blinks should be caused by a switch event or exter-nal stimulus. A state diagram showing the different operational states of the RTLS Transmitter is shown below in Figure 5. Bli
