Abstract

A device receives reference data from reference receivers associated with base stations, and synchronizes the reference data to a reference time to generate synchronized reference data for the reference receivers. The device processes the synchronized reference data to determine location error information associated with one or more of the reference receivers, and receives information indicating that a user device, located at an observed location, connects to a particular base station of the base stations. The device determines a location correction for the observed location, or an actual location of the user device, based on particular location error information for a particular reference receiver, of the reference receivers, associated with the particular base station, and causes information identifying the location correction or information identifying the actual location of the user device to be provided to the user device.
