Distributed antenna system with location determination based on pseudo-pilot signals

摘要

A distributed antenna system comprises a base antenna system and coverage antenna systems. The base antenna system wirelessly receives a network pilot signal and transfers the network pilot signal to a first coverage antenna system and to a second coverage antenna system. The first coverage antenna system wirelessly transfers the network pilot signal and a first pseudo-pilot signal that is correlated to a first location. The second coverage antenna system wirelessly transfers the network pilot signal and a second pseudo-pilot signal that is correlated to a second location. In some examples, user devices translate the pseudo-pilot signals into their correlated locations.

1. A method of operating a distributed antenna system, the method comprising:
wirelessly receiving a network pilot signal in a base antenna system and transferring the network pilot signal to a first coverage antenna system and to a second coverage antenna system; wirelessly transferring the network pilot signal and a first pseudo-pilot signal from the first coverage antenna system, wherein the first pseudo-pilot signal is correlated to a first location; wirelessly transferring the network pilot signal and a second pseudo-pilot signal from the second coverage antenna system, wherein the second pseudo-pilot signal is correlated to a second location.
