Δfrx,x

Frequency swing of the recorded audio chirp at mobile node x.

Λ

linear increasing and decreasing triangle function.

τrx

Awake time of the receiving mobile nodes.

τtx

Audio signal broadcast duration of the transmitting beacon.

τ

− 3 dB bandwidth of the cardinal sine.

A

Amplitude of the rectangle window function.

f0

Carrier frequency of the transmitted audio chirp at the beacon.

mRF(t)

RF signal to wake up the mobile nodes simultaneously.

ma(t)

Audio signal broadcast by the beacon.

sc,sc〉(t)

Autocorrelation result of the linear chirps.

TA

Wake up time of the mobile nodes.

T0
