Abstract: UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.

Abstract: A split architecture is disclosed for determining the location of a wireless device in a heterogeneous wireless communications environment. A detector within the device or another component of the environment receives signals including parameters for a localization signal of the device. The parameters describe known in advance signals within the signals. Additional metadata including each frame start of the signals and assistance data and auxiliary information are also received. The known in advance signals are detected based on the parameters of the localization signal. Samples extracted from the known in advance signals are then processed and compressed and sent with other collect data to a locate server remote from the detector. The location server uses that information as well as similar information about the environment to calculate the location of the device, as well as perform tracking and navigation of the device, and report such results to the environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a timing offset of a plurality of emitter antennas in a wireless network. The methods include deploying a network synchronization calibration unit at a location within receiving range of a plurality of direct path reference signals transmitted by the plurality of emitter antennas. The synchronization calibration unit receives the plurality of direct path reference signals and one or more reflected reference signals, which are then separated from one another to identify the direct path reference signals when a signal strength of one direct path reference signal is less than a signal strength of a reflected reference signal. A set of data is collected from the reflected reference signals that is indicative of the timing offset and that set of data is analyzed to estimate the timing offset.
