Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are provided for utilizing reference signals transmitted by network stations to determine the orientation of a wireless node. An example method for determining an orientation of a user equipment includes determining a first location associated with the user equipment, determining a second location associated with a first wireless node, receiving, with the user equipment, a radio frequency signal transmitted from the first wireless node, determining two measurements based at least in part on the first location, the second location, and angle of arrival information associated with the radio frequency signal, determining a gravity vector based on inertial measurements obtained with the user equipment, and computing the orientation of the user equipment based at least in part on the gravity vector and the two measurements.
