- diversity can be implemented by averaging measurements of the received signal strength indicators RSSE that follow one another in time. These are normally independent of time, since they are transmitted over different radio channels and thus over different frequencies.

- Access control system 1 is then informed of the determined position by mobile radio device 2.
- the mobile radio device 2 continuously sends out advertising event packets.
- the radio devices 6 receive these packets and can determine all reception signal strength indicators RSSE associated therewith.
- the measured values are now available in the radio devices 6 and can be stored in the memory device 18 provided with a time stamp.

- FIG. 3 shows an exemplary basic illustration for determining a position of the user 4 according to the situations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Position determination is based on a channel model (block 38). Depending on the configuration, the position can be determined using one of several calibration modes (block 36), the calibration mode being dependent on one
- This position determination can also be modified using a time filtering (block 34) and / or sensor values (block 32).
- the sensor values are generated by a sensor module (IMU, Inertial Measurement Unit) of the mobile radio device 2.
- the current position P ′ of the mobile radio device 2 results from the channel model adapted in accordance with one of the calibration modes, which is indicated in FIG. 3 by a block 30.
- An exemplary time course of the position P ′ in the x-y plane is indicated in a block 40.
- the lock 14 is located, for example, in the x direction at xo; it can also be seen from this that the position determination according to the technology described here extends over both zones 20, 22.
- the technology described here is based on a concept that describes a loss of signal strength during transmission over a transmission channel.
- the transmission channel comprises the signal path from the mobile radio device 2 (including its antenna) over the air to one of the radio devices 6 (including its antenna), which can also contribute to the losses. Antenna losses and In the technology described here, multipath propagation is called

- Radio signal also sends out at least one individual identifier
- Mobile radio devices 2 are differentiated; this can affect the number of im
- the identifier can be a telephone number, an international mobile subscriber identifier (International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)), a device ID (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI)), a device address (Media Access Control (MAC)
- IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- IMEI International Mobile Station Equipment Identity
- MAC Media Access Control
- the device ID generally indicates the type of mobile radio device 2 (e.g. an iPhone from Apple or a so-called Android smartphone from another manufacturer).
- the number of mobile radio devices 2 represents a situation indicator, as does the type of mobile radio device 2. Further situation indicators are a point of entry of the user 4 into the monitoring area (e.g. the prominent place mentioned), sensor data generated by a mobile radio device 2, a user Identifier, a time, a number of radio devices 6, a (computer) computing power available in the access control system 1, a density of the radio devices 6 and a room size. From the evaluation of the radio communication in the monitoring area, at least one of these situation indicators can be determined that the radio situation in
- Situation indicators can be recorded in order to display the radio situation, and that not all of the aforementioned situation indicators in the access control system 1 can be determined at a certain time or for a certain mobile radio device 2.
- the situation indicator is used to select a calibration mode that is appropriate to the situation and through which the channel model is adapted.
- Three different calibration modes, each with several possible calibration algorithms, are described below:
- a reference mobile radio device-based calibration mode which is based on a dedicated calibration run with a reference mobile radio device 2a in a calibration phase and is described below in connection with FIG. 6; a cellular device independent calibration mode based on a

- the knowledge of these parameters is important for a given system and a given radio situation, especially if the propagation environment for the radio signals changes.
- the parameters can be determined with or without knowledge of the path of the user 4 in a calibration phase or a calibration phase can be omitted.
- Loss coefficient a describe the path losses, determined on the basis of measurements between the radio devices 6 and knowledge of the locations of the radio devices 6.
- each radio device 6 is used as an individual transmitter, while the remaining radio devices 6 are receivers.
- Sends z. B. a first radio device 6 radio test signals to all other radio devices 6, the received signal strength indicators RSSE determined by them are stored.
- the first radio device 6 that was previously transmitting then changes to a receiver mode and the next radio device 6 begins to transmit. This process is repeated until all radio devices 6 have sent radio test signals once.
- the received signal strength indicators RSSE can be used to determine the corresponding

- the automated real-time calibration mode has the advantage that it requires little or no prior knowledge and thus reduces the installation effort.
- the automated real-time calibration mode manages without a special calibration phase.
- the position of the mobile radio device 2 is determined without prior knowledge other than the locations of the radio devices 6.
- these parameters are viewed as interference parameters and are determined in real time together with the position of the mobile radio device 2.
