Abstract
A computer-implemented method for identifying a device position is provided. The method includes synchronizing a clock between a first device and a second device to obtain a synchronized clock. The method further includes measuring a round-trip time of flight between an antenna from the first device and an antenna from the second device based on the synchronized clock. The method also includes estimating a relative angular position of the second device with respect to the first device based on the round-trip time of flight. The method additionally includes estimating a distance between the first device and the second device based on estimated round-trip time of flight. The method further includes estimating, by the first device, a position of the second device with respect to a known coordinate based on the relative angular position and the distance.
