Abstract
An illustrative UE locator system determines a time measurement indicative of a signal travel time between a UE device and an access point device. The signal travel time corresponds to an apparent distance, presuming a line-of-sight (LoS) signal travel path, between a location of the UE device and a location of the access point device. The UE locator system also accesses, from a bias suppression datastore, bias suppression data configured for use in suppressing an influence of a bias between the apparent distance and a true distance between the location of the UE device and the location of the access point device. The bias is associated with a non-line-of-sight (NLoS) signal travel path between the UE device and the access point device. Based on the time measurement and the bias suppression data, the UE locator system estimates the location of the UE device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
