ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an antenna segment system for communicating between fixed antenna segments and wireless mobile devices. The antenna segments may be embedded in lighting fixtures distributed in a building. Each lighting fixture may emanate a visible light pattern related to an antenna pattern of an antenna segment embedded in the respective lighting fixture. The system includes a computer that can automatically assign addresses to the distributed antenna segments based on time domain reflection signals returned over a wire path between a controller and the segments.
