  • Locating the source of a wireless signal
    Patent number: 9942864
    Abstract: In some aspects, a wireless-signal source locator system includes wireless sensor devices distributed at distinct locations over a geographic region. The wireless sensor devices are configured to passively monitor wireless communication network signals in the geographic region. Each wireless sensor device is configured to receive a source signal wirelessly transmitted by a source (e.g., a mobile device, etc.) and a reference signal (e.g., from a synchronization source). The wireless sensor devices can generate arrival-time data based on the source signal and the reference signal. The wireless-signal source locator system further includes a data analysis system configured to receive the arrival-time data from the wireless sensor devices and to identify a location of the source based on analyzing the arrival-time data generated by three or more of the wireless sensor devices.
