Abstract
Techniques for determining the position of an endpoint when a signal from the endpoint is received by multiple receive beams are described. According to some embodiments, the ratios of receive beam amplitudes for symbols received from the endpoint are compared to an ideal ratio that assumes no interference. Since the ideal ratio is indexed to the endpoint's position, the position of the endpoint can be estimated by comparing the calculated ratios to the ideal ratio. Endpoint position accuracy is further improved in some embodiments by using multiple spatially separated antenna arrays that jointly beamform. Embodiments described herein advantageously provide as good as, or better than, GPS-level accuracy without requiring an impractically large number of antennas.
