Abstract

Systems and methods can support determining a physical position of wireless devices. Radio frequency sensors may be positioned within an electromagnetic environment where user equipment devices are serviced by a base station. The radio frequency sensors can receive wireless downlink signals transmitted from the base station to the user equipment devices. Network identifiers may be extracted from the received wireless downlink signals. User equipment devices may be associated with the extracted network identifiers. Radio channel allocations may be determined for the extracted network identifiers. The radio frequency sensors can receive wireless uplink signals transmitted from the user equipment devices to the base station. Signal strength indicators from the received wireless uplink signals can be associated with the extracted network identifiers. Physical positions of the user equipment devices can be determined by analyzing the associated signal strength indicators.
