Location determination based on a plurality of directional beams

A network management system, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
• receive signal strength measurements associated with a plurality of directional beams received by a wireless device, wherein the plurality of directional beams comprises one or more directional beams of a first set of directional beams transmitted with a first offset angle and one or more directional beams of a second set of directional beams transmitted with a second offset angle that is offset from the first set of directional beams transmitted with the first offset angle;
• determine a location of the wireless device in a site based on the signal strength measurements;
• and
• perform an action based on the location of the wireless device.

A user equipment device comprising:

• memory;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
• receive, from a network device, a plurality of directional beams, wherein the plurality of directional beams comprises a first directional beam of a first set of directional beams transmitted by the network device at a first offset angle and a second directional beam of a second set of directional beams transmitted by the network device at a second offset angle;
• send, to a network management system, a signal strength measurement for the first directional beam and a signal strength measurement for the second directional beam;
• and
• based on sending the signal strength measurement for the first directional beam and the signal strength measurement for the second directional beam, receive, from the network management system, location information indicative of a location of the user equipment device in a site.
