    Abstract: A method includes accessing a network graph including: a set of nodes, each representing a transceiver; and a set of edges, each edge connecting two nodes and representing a communication channel between a pair of transceivers. The method also includes: accessing a network state comprising a set of edge values for the set of edges; and identifying a set of triangle graphs in the network graph. The method further includes, for each triangle graph in the network graph: calculating a component diagnostic score based on a subset of edge values; and for each node in the triangle graph, updating a cumulative diagnostic score for the node based on the component diagnostic score. The method additionally includes, in response to detecting a cumulative diagnostic score for a node exceeding a threshold cumulative diagnostic score, triggering a corrective action at a transceiver represented by the node.

    Abstract: A method includes: scheduling transmission of a first synchronization signal by a first node; and scheduling transmission of a second synchronization signal by a second node. The method also includes, after transmission of the first synchronization signal: receiving, from the first node, a first phase reference associated with the first synchronization signal; and receiving, from the second node, a first phase-of-arrival of the first synchronization signal at the second node. The method additionally includes, after transmission of the second synchronization signal: receiving, from the second node, a second phase reference associated with the second synchronization signal; and receiving, from the first node, a second phase-of-arrival of the second synchronization signal at the first node. The method further includes calculating a propagation delay between the first node and the second node based on the first phase reference, the second phase reference, the first phase-of-arrival, and the second phase-of-arrival.
