    Abstract: A method of positioning using a shortest path based on a synthesized wideband channel estimate is described. In some embodiments, a method is disclosed, comprising: distributing an uplink schedule to a plurality of synchronized nodes; continuously capturing a reference signal across a plurality of carrier frequencies until frequency coverage for the synthetic wide band is achieved; removing frequency offset; calculating a plurality of channel estimates for the captured reference signal; aligning the plurality of channel estimates; combining the plurality of channel estimates to construct a single channel estimate of the synthetic wide band; deriving a shortest delay for the received reference signal; and using the derived shortest delay to estimate a time of arrival and thereby determine an estimated location.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for synchronization and positioning, one of which comprises determining a first phase offset for a known signal received at a first antenna by plotting a first arbitrary set of phase corrections and finding a phase offset corresponding to a greatest reflectional symmetry within the first arbitrary set of phase corrections, determining a second phase offset for a known signal received at a second antenna by plotting a second arbitrary set of phase corrections and finding a phase offset corresponding to a greatest reflectional symmetry within the second arbitrary set of phase corrections, calculating an angle of arrival for the known signal from the transmitter based on the first and the second phase offset for the known signal as received at the first antenna and the second antenna, and calculating a positioning vector for a direction of the transmitter.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing base station localization. In one embodiment the system includes a network including a base station such as a 5G gNodeB (gNB); a Hetnet Gateway (HNG) in communication with the gNB, wherein the HNG includes a location server and wherein the HNG virtualizes and abstracts a collection of base stations and provides a complex network under its purview as a simple base station to a mobile packet core network; a plurality of Hyper Sync Network (HSN) nodes in communication with the gNB and the HNG, wherein the plurality of HSN nodes listen to User Equipments (UEs) to locate the UEs and to synchronize clocks on the gNB with the collection of HSN nodes or other gNBs; and an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) server in communication with the HNG and for reporting the location of a UE.
