Method for the passive localization of radar transmitters
A method of passive location of radar transmitters implemented by at least two ESM stations, the radars having a quasi-constant scanning speed in the course of the transit over the set comprising at least two ESM stations, each of the ESM stations being able to intercept the transmission lobes of radar transmitters and to estimate their lobe transit times (LTT) and at least one station being able to estimate the angle of arrival α of the transmission lobes, the location of the radar transmitters being performed by testing the intersection between an iso-LTTD curve passing through at least the two ESM stations and a sighting straight line passing through the ESM station having measured the angle of arrival and of azimuth equal to the measured angle of arrival α.
Positioning of wireless devices
A method performed by a network node (10) for finding a direction to a wireless device (20) in a wireless communication network is provided. The method comprises the step (S1) of the network node transmitting reference signal pairs on at least one pair of correlated antennas. Each reference signal pair has a unique phase difference between the signals in the signal pair, and the unique phase differences of the reference signal pairs are distributed over a given angular interval. The method further comprises the step (S2) of the network node receiving from the wireless device, in response to each pair of reference signals, a respective indication of a preferred pre-coding matrix, and the step (S3) of the network node determining a direction to the wireless device based on the received indications, information representative of the phase differences of the reference signal pairs, and phase information related to the indicated preferred pre-coding matrices.

NETWORK ARCHITECTURE AND METHODS FOR LOCATION SERVICES
UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.
Location determination of a mobile device
A signal transmitted from a mobile device is received at an antenna array of a device. Motion information of the mobile device is received from a sensor of the mobile device. A change in the AoA of the signal is computed when the mobile device moves from a first position to a second position. The location of the mobile device relative to the antenna array is determined based on the change in AoA of the signal and the motion information of the mobile device.

Intelligent electronic footwear and logic for navigation assistance by automated tactile, audio, and visual feedback
Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETECTING INDIVIDUALS IN A TARGET GEOGRPAHIC LOCATION WITH A DISASTROUS SITE USING SMART ANTENNA BORNE DRONE
A system and method for detecting individuals in a target geographic location, such as a disastrous site, that identifies and locates potential victims using signals from the victims' cell phone utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle controlled equipped with a retractable antenna component and a core network connection component. The retractable antenna component includes a mobile telephony base station and employs a smart antenna system so as to estimate the direction of arrival of all incoming signals. The core network connection component is operative to establish a wireless communication link with an Internet Protocol based core network of. When a victim's cell phones attempts to connect to the base station in order to access the core network, the location of the cell phone can be determined. The locations can be plotted on a map and based on the distribution of phones on the map, rescue efforts can be optimized.
