SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GEOLOCATION OF USER EQUIPMENT

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18727539 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GEOLOCATION OF USER EQUIPMENT

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for geolocation of user equipment are provided. In one example, a system includes BBU(s) and radio units communicatively coupled to the BBU(s). Each radio unit is configured to receive uplink signals from a user equipment. The system further includes antennas communicatively coupled to the radio units. Each respective radio unit is communicatively coupled to a respective subset of the antennas. The BBU(s), the radio units, and the antennas are configured to implement a base station for wirelessly communicating with user equipment. One or more components of the system are configured to determine, for each respective radio unit, a respective propagation delay for the uplink signals from the user equipment for the respective radio unit. The at least one BBU entity is configured to jointly process the respective propagation delays for each respective radio unit to determine an estimated position of the user equipment.
