Navigation and positioning system using radio beam

A mobile device comprising:

• a wireless receiver configured to receive a radio beam, the radio beam being a directional beam that propagates along an angle of departure with respect to an antenna that transmits the radio beam;
• a memory that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
• identify at least one of:
• the radio beam or a base station that operates the antenna;
• determine a position of the mobile device based on identifying at least one of the radio beam or the antenna of the base station;
• and
• output the position of the mobile device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, causes the mobile device to:

• receive, via a wireless receiver of the mobile device, a radio beam, the radio beam being a directional beam that propagates along an angle of departure with respect to an antenna that transmits the radio beam;
• identify at least one of:
• the radio beam or a base station that operates the antenna;
• determine a position of the mobile device based on identifying at least one of the radio beam or the antenna of the base station;
• and
• output the position of the mobile device.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving a radio beam, the radio beam being a directional beam that propagates along an angle of departure with respect to an antenna that transmits the radio beam;
• means for identifying at least one of:
• the radio beam or a base station that operates the antenna;
• means for determining a position of the apparatus based on identifying at least one of the radio beam or the antenna of the base station;
• and
• means for outputting the position of the apparatus.
