Abstract
A method and network node for differential matched summed antenna positioning are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes summing sequential uplink data signals at each of a plurality of antennas of the network node to produce a plurality of antenna signal sums. The method also includes selecting one of the antenna signal sums to be used as a reference antenna signal sum. A channel impulse response is determined for each of a plurality of other antennas by cross correlating the reference antenna signal sum with the others of the plurality of antenna signal sums. The method further includes estimating a time difference of arrival from the channel impulse responses of the plurality of antennas, and estimating an error of the estimated time difference of arrival of each antenna. A position of a wireless device is determined using the estimated time differences of arrival.
