Systems and methods for determining a location of one or more user equipment (UE) in a wireless system can comprise receiving reference signals via a location management unit having two or more co-located channels, wherein the two or more co-located channels are tightly synchronized with each other and utilizing the received reference signals to calculate a location of at least one UE among the one or more UE. Embodiments include multichannel synchronization with a standard deviation of less than or equal 10 ns. Embodiments can include two LMUs, with each LMU having internal synchronization, or one LMU with tightly synchronized signals.

An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source and identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimated interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations. A predicted interference source location is identified based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations. It is determined whether the unknown interference source is a persistent interference source over a selected time period, wherein the predicted interference source location is identified for each interval in the selected time period. The predicted interference source locations for each interval in the selected time period are retrieved and an aggregated predicted interference source location is calculated based on the retrieved predicted interference source locations.

In an aspect, a first network node may receive, from a second network node, one or more reference signals transmitted using one or more first polarizations known to the first network node, wherein the one or more reference signals are received having one or more second polarizations. The first network node may determine whether the one or more reference signals followed a line-of-sight (LOS) path between the first network node and the second network node based on a comparison of signal characteristics related to the one or more first polarizations and signal characteristics related to the one or more second polarizations.
