Abstract
Methods that determine position of network devices in a robust manner may include a method for determining a position of a remote radio head. The method may include generating position values of the remote radio head based on signals received by a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver, and generating additional position values of the remote radio head from a supplemental positioning unit. The method may include determining whether an error of at least one of the position values exceeds a threshold, and storing a last position value from position values having an error within the threshold, in response to determining that the error of at least one of the position values exceeds the threshold. The method may further include calculating an updated position value of the remote radio head based on at least one of the additional position values.
