An apparatus for indicating a direction of a radio transmission is described. The apparatus includes at least one vector detection device including two or more antennas and an attenuating material between at least one of the antennas and a source of a radio transmission. The attenuating material is arranged to vary an amount of attenuation with an angle of the source with respect to at least one of the antennas. The apparatus is configured to generate a signal indicating a direction of the radio transmission by comparing received signal strengths from the two or more antennas.

This specification relates to estimation of a location of a mobile device using one or more locator devices. In a first aspect, this specification describes an apparatus comprising: means for receiving, from a set of locator devices at known locations, each locator device comprising an antenna array, bearing measurements indicative of one or more bearings from the antenna array of each of the plurality of locator devices to a mobile device; means for estimating a position of the mobile device using the known location of each locator device and the bearing measurements from each locator device; means for determining, for each of the bearing measurements, an error based on the bearing measurement and the estimated position of the mobile device; means for identifying one or more bearing measurements having an error in excess of a threshold; and means for re-estimating the position of the mobile device such that the contribution of the identified one or more bearing measurements to the re-estimated position is reduced.

Techniques for determining a location of a client device using recursive phase vector subspace estimation are described. One technique includes receiving a plurality of angle-of-arrival (AoA) measurements from a plurality of access points (APs). Each AoA measurement includes a plurality of entries for phase values measured from a signal received from a client device at the plurality of APs. At least one AoA measurement of the plurality of AoA measurements that includes at least one of: (i) one or more entries with missing phase values and (ii) one or more entries with erroneous phase values is identified, based on a recursive phase estimation. The plurality of AoA measurements are updated based on the identified at least one AoA measurement. The location of the client device is determined, based on the updated plurality of AoA measurements.
