Abstract

A method includes: based on a synchronization signal transmitted from a master node and received at a sniffer node, recording a partial channel state information characterizing a communication channel between the master node and the sniffer node for a second time period; in response to a localization signal transmitted from a target device, calculating a time bias between the master node and the sniffer node based on a transmit time of the synchronization signal, a third receive time of the synchronization signal at the sniffer node, a channel response characterizing the communication channel for a first time period, and the partial channel state information; and estimating a position of the target device based on a first receive time of the localization signal at the master node, a second receive time of the localization signal at the sniffer node, and the time bias.
