Various example embodiments relate to positioning of a target node. A positioning report may comprise positioning assistance measurements from the target node and at least one anchor node, wherein the positioning assistance measurements are associated with angular differences between a pair of uplink and/or downlink transmission and/or reception beam directions. Apparatuses, methods, and computer pro-grams are disclosed.

A method and devices are disclosed, for tracking a radio beacon at a mobile device, using short range RF signals, emitted by the beacon and detected at the mobile device, typically indoor, requiring no GNSS service. According to the disclosed method, the beacon is configured to broadcast short bursts, at a carefully structured difference in time of emission (DTOE), while at the tracking device, the difference in time of arrival (DTOA) of said signals is measured, and along with the DTOE, used to accurately determine the location of and direction to the beacon relatively to the tracking device. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said short range RF signals are associated with Bluetooth advertising, configured to broadcast in 1-way, requiring no pairing and no connection from the tracking device, and practically not requiring a receiver at the beacon, therefor saving battery energy.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, activating one or more anchors in a network of deployed anchors to transmit or receive one or more wireless signals, obtaining range measurements and angle measurements based on the one or more wireless signals, and determining coordinates of anchors in the network based on the range measurements and the angle measurements. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for locating a user equipment with respect to a motor vehicle, including the following steps, carried out iteratively when the user is in motion: determining what is referred to as the inter-object distance between an ultra-wideband communication module of the vehicle and the user equipment; computing what is referred to as the inter-step distance covered by the user between two consecutive steps based on the measured acceleration and orientation values; and cross-referencing the determined inter-object distance and the computed inter-step distance in order to determine at least one probable location zone of the user equipment. The iterations ending when a single probable location zone of the user equipment with a surface area smaller than a predefined surface area has been determined. The single probable location zone then corresponding to the location of the user equipment around the vehicle.

Systems and methods for determining an indication of locationing accuracy are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an antenna deployment including multiple antennas and corresponding locations for the antennas is obtained. Then, one or more radio characteristics are determined for ubiety locations based on the antenna deployment and an indication of locationing accuracy for the ubiety locations is determined based on the one or more radio characteristics. In this way, an antenna deployment can be evaluated for locationing accuracy. This may be used by a network engineer or an automated system to determine and/or refine an antenna deployment.
