Reference nodes exist with known coordinates, typically because they are part of an installed infrastructure. Other nodes are blind nodes, whose coordinates need to be estimated. These blind nodes are often mobile and attached to assets that need to be tracked. The Location Engine implements a distributed computation algorithm that uses received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values from known reference nodes. Performing location calculations at the node level reduces network traffic and communication delays otherwise present in a centralized computation approach. The Location Engine has the following main features: • • • • • 3 to 16 reference nodes can be used for the location estimation algorithm Location estimate with readout resolution of 0.25 meters (note: The accuracy of the location estimate will depend on several factors described below). Time to estimate node location is 50 µs to 13 ms Location range 64 x 64 meters Runs location estimation with minimum CPU usage To achieve the best possible accuracy one should use antennas that have near-isotropic radiation characteristics. The location error depends on signal environment, deployment pattern of reference nodes and the density of reference nodes in a given area. In general, having more reference nodes available improves the accuracy of the location estimation. 2.1 Location Engine Operation Engine is not in use, writing a 0 to will reduce the power consumption of the CC2431 by gating off the Engine’s clock signal. This section describes the basic steps required to obtain location estimates from the Location Engine. LOCENG.EN The Location Engine requires a set of three to 16 reference coordinates to be input together with a set of measured parameters. The output from the Location Engine consists of a pair of estimated location coordinates. Figure 1 shows the basic operation of the Location Engine. Before any input data is written, the Location Engine must be enabled by writing a 1 to the enable bit, LOCENG.EN. When the Location CC2431 Data Sheet (Rev. 2.01) SWRS034B Page 5 of 15 Not Recommended for New Designs CC2431 Figure 1: Location Engine Operation CC2431 Data Sheet (Rev. 2.01) SWRS034B Page 6 of 15 Not Recommended for New Designs 2.1.1 CC2431 Reference Coordinates The Location Engine requires a set of between three and 16 reference coordinates [x0, y0, x1, y1, …, x15, y15] to be input. The reference coordinates express each reference nodes position in meters, as unsigned values in the interval [0, 63.75] meters. The finest possible readout resolution is 0.25 meter. The format used is fixed-point data with the two LSBs representing the fractional part and the remaining six bits representing the integer part, thus e.g. 63.75 is represented as 0xFF. reference coordinates are being written. Once the coordinate load process commences (LOCENG.REFLD =1), 16 coordinate pairs must always be written. However, it is possible for the Location Engine to use less than 16 reference coordinates, by marking certain reference coordinates as unused. Zeros shall be used to fill the unused reference coordinate slots, and they will be interpreted as unused when 0.0 is loaded as the RSSI value for those reference coordinates. Reference coordinates are loaded into the RF register REFCOORD. Before writing to REFCOORD, a 1 must be written to the register bit LOCENG.REFLD to indicate that a set of The reference coordinates are written in the order [x0, y0, x1, y1, …, x15, y15] to the register REFCOORD. After all coordinates have been written, a 0 is written to the register bit LOCENG.REFLD. 2.1.2 Measured Parameters After the reference coordinates have been written, a set of measured parameters must be input to the Location Engine. These parameters consist of two radio parameters: Four search boundary coordinates and 16 RSSI values. The radio parameters are the values A and n. These radio parameters are used in the Engine’s algorithm used to find the estimated location. The parameters A and n can be adjusted to describe the propagation environment in which a network of devices will operate. 2.1.2.1 Parameter Definitions The measured parameters are described in this section together with how these should be estimated. 2.1.2.1.1 Parameter A The radio parameter A is defined as the absolute value of the average power in dBm received at a close-in reference distance of one meter from the transmitter, assuming an omni-directional radiation pattern. For example, if the mean received power at one meter is -40 dBm, the parameter A is specified as 40. 2.1.2.1.2 The Engine expects the parameter A to be in the range [30.0, 50.0] with precision 0.5. The parameter A is given as an unsigned fixedpoint value where the LSB bit is the fractional bit and the remaining bits are the integer part. A typical value for A is 40.0. Parameter n The radio parameter n is defined as the path loss exponent that describes the rate at which the signal power decays with increasing distance from the transmitter. This decay is proportional to d-n where d is the distance between transmitter and receiver. As an example, in the case when the value n=2.98 is found from measurements, the closest available value of n in the lookup table is 3.00, corresponding to index 13. Therefore, the integer value 13 is used for the parameter n written to the Location Engine. The actual parameter n value written to the Location Engine is an integer index value selected from a lookup table shown in Table 2. Refer to section 2.1.2.1.3 in order to find the value for n to be used.

The typical value for n depends on the environment. 2.1.2.1.3 Parameter Estimation The parameters A and n can be estimated empirically by collecting RSSI data (and therefore path loss data) for which the distances between the transmitting and receiving devices are known. Figure 2 is a scatter plot of abs(RSSI) data versus log distance in meters. A least-squares best-fit line is used to glean the specific values of A and n for the environment in which the data were measured: • • A is the y-intercept of the line, and n is the slope of the line The data in Figure 2 give A=42.4 and n=2.98 for that environment. Note that the plot in this example does not show the actual y-intercept i.e. the point on the line where x=0. The value of A loaded into the engine in this case would by 42.5. The value of n loaded into the engine, is seen to be 13 from Table 2.

The maximum area that can be considered is with X and Y in the interval [0.0, 63.75] meters. where: xdelta = xmax - xmin ydelta = ymax - ymin Assume that the Location Engine search is to be limited to include only the rectangular area bounded by the coordinates [xmin, ymin] and [xmax, ymax]. Note that even when it is chosen to search in the whole possible search space, these coordinates must be entered as the coordinates for the whole space, i.e. the following values: 0.0, 63.75, 0.0, 63.75. Four search boundary parameters are entered in the following order: If some input parameters are omitted the Location Engine will not estimate correctly. xmin, xdelta , ymin, ydelta 2.1.2.1.5 RSSI Values The RSSI values are the RSSI measurements corresponding to the set of reference coordinates. The RSSI values are within the interval [-40 dBm, -95 dBm] with precision 0.5 dBm. The negative sign is removed in the value written. As an example, in the case where the value RSSI = -50.35 dB, this would be written into the location engine as 50.5. Note that a value of 0.0 must be written as RSSI value for unused reference coordinates, if less than 16 reference nodes are used. The engine will not function correctly if only some of the parameters are loaded. 2.1.2.2 Loading Parameters All measured parameters described in the previous sections are loaded into the RF register MEASPARM. Before writing to MEASPARM, a 1 must be written to the register bit LOCENG.PARLD to indicate that a set of measured parameters are being written. Once the parameter load process commences CC2431 Data Sheet (Rev. 2.01) SWRS034B Page 9 of 15 Not Recommended for New Designs (LOCENG.PARLD =1), all 22 parameters must be written. The measured parameters must be written in the order [A, n, xmin, xdelta, ymin, ydelta, rssi0, rssi1, …, rssi15] to the MEASPARM register. Once the parameter load process commences 2.1.3 CC2431 (LOCENG.PARLD =1) it must be completed with all 22 parameters. Included in these are the 16 RSSI values which must be all written, so any unused slots must be written as zeros. After all 22 parameters have been written, a 0 must be written to the register bit LOCENG.PARLD. Location Estimation The estimated location coordinates are given in meters in the interval [0.0, 63.75] with resolution 0.25 m. The data format uses the LSB bit as the fractional part. reading the LOCX register, to obtain the actual X value as follows: When reference coordinates and measured parameters have been loaded, the location estimate is calculated by writing 1 to the LOCENG.RUN register bit. The estimated coordinates can be read from the LOCX and LOCY registers when LOCENG.DONE is set to 1. The time until estimated coordinates can be read varies with the search boundary parameters, from 50 µs to 13 ms (with 32 MHz system clock) after LOCENG.RUN was set to 1. The Location Engine does not produce any interrupt requests. Where XLOCX is the value read from register LOCX, and xmin and xdelta are the boundary parameters used as inputs to limit the search as described in section 2.1.2.1.4. Notice that the Y coordinate read LOCY from can be used directly. X = (XLOCX - xmin +1) % ( xdelta+ 1) + xmin The estimated coordinates remain valid in the LOCX and LOCY registers until new results have been calculated or until a reset. Note that LOCENG.EN must be 1 during operation of the Location Engine. The value of the X coordinate estimate given by LOCX includes an offset value which must be removed to obtain the actual X coordinate. The offset removal must be performed after 2.2 Location Engine Register This section describes the RF registers associated with the Location Engine. These registers are: • LOCENG - Location Engine control - Reference coordinates - Measured parameters - Location estimate X - Location estimate Y and status • REFCOORD • MEASPARM input The RF registers reside in XDATA memory space.
