Abstract:
A method, user equipment (UE) and location server for estimating position of a UE based on observed angles of arrival. According to one embodiment, angles of arrival of signals from a plurality of base stations are received by a UE are observed by scanning for position reference signals (PRS) by adjusting a phase difference between antennas to cause a null of a beam of the UE to be incremented through an angular sector. For each of a plurality of base stations, an angle of arrival at which the null is steered when a PRS is suppressed by the null and a reference signal time difference, RSTD, are determined. Each angle of arrival and corresponding RSTD is transmitted to a location server which estimates UE position based on the observed angles of arrival. Further, the location server may instruct the UE to suppress a non-line-of-sight PRS signal.
