Abstract
A method including receiving signals associated with multiple antenna elements; obtaining a parameter of the received signals for at least some of the multiple antenna elements; testing the obtained parameters; if the test fails, rejecting the received signals for use in positioning the apparatus; if the test passes, using the received signals for positioning the apparatus.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving signals associated with multiple antenna elements;
- obtaining a parameter of a subset of the received signals for at least some of the multiple antenna elements;
- and
- testing the obtained parameters;
- if the test fails, rejecting the received signals for use in positioning an apparatus to be positioned;
- and
- if the test passes, using the received signals to determine a three-dimensional bearing of the apparatus from a first location.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- detection circuitry configured to detect a parameter of a subset of received signals associated with respective multiple antenna elements;
- and
- testing circuitry configured to test the obtained parameters and configured to enable rejection of the received signals for use in positioning an apparatus to be positioned if the test fails, and configured to enable use of the received signals to determine a three-dimensional bearing of the apparatus from a first location if the test passes.
