Abstract
The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for determining a location of a device on a massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) network. An exemplary method comprises receiving, from a device, a first signal and a second signal at a base station; measuring a first signal characteristic for the first signal and a second signal characteristic for the second signal; comparing and matching the first measured signal characteristic to a first reference signal characteristic for a first reference signal and the second measured signal characteristic to a second reference signal characteristic for a second reference signal; and determining a location of the device based on the first measured signal characteristic and the second measured signal characteristic.
