Angle of Arrival estimation For LTE ?
Posted on 16. Jun, 2010 by Muhammad-Tahir in LteWorld Forum
Hi there i need some Kicking information about estimating angle of arrival for LTEi
i have searched every where but couldnt even find a bit if some one can help me
please come forward.......!

kind regards

Not sure if I understood

Not sure if I understood question correctly, See below what 3GPP specs says about
it

Angle of Arrival (AoA) -AoA defines the estimated angle of a user with respect to a
reference direction. The reference direction for this measurement shall be the
geographical North, positive in a counter-clockwise direction. The AoA is
determined at the eNB antenna for an UL channel corresponding to this UE.

From 3GPP 36.305 -> 8.3 Enhanced cell ID positioning methods

8.3.1 General

In the Cell ID (CID)-based method, the UE position is estimated with the knowledge
of the geographical coordinates of its serving eNodeB. Enhanced Cell ID (E-CID)
positioning refers to techniques which use additional UE and/or E-UTRAN radio
resource related measurements to improve the UE location estimate. For E-UTRAN
access, these measurements may include [20, 21]:

UE measurements ([20], [21]):

- Reference signal received power (RSRP);

- Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ);

- UE Rx – Tx time difference.

E-UTRAN measurements ([20], [21]):

- eNB Rx – Tx time difference

- Timing Advance (TADV):

- Type1: TADV = (eNB Rx – Tx time difference) + (UE Rx – Tx time difference)

- Type2: TADV = eNB Rx – Tx time difference;

- Angle of Arrival (AoA).

Various techniques exist to use these measurements to estimate the location of the
UE. The specific techniques are beyond the scope of this specification.

RE: AOA Estimation

Thank you very Much agaur for your reply. your answar help me in some way but i
want to develop a technique to estimate aoa measurement and the signalling requires
to measure the mobile location by using the LTEi.

My Objectives are as follows:

1- Enable methods of UEi positioning.
2- Making use of the angle of arrival to UE transmission.
3- eNB should, optionally support angle of arrival measurements.
4- These measurements are on UE’s transmission using adaptive antenna.
5- eNB implements adaptive antenna systems

Kind Regards

3GPPi provides UEi postioning

3GPPi provides UEi postioning framework, some parts may be vendor dependent. See a
little overview http://lteworld.org/blog/lte-ue-positioning-e-utran , I hope you
are already aware of these.

As this is part of Enhanced cell ID positioning method, once eNB measurements is

done, This information (Angle of Arrival)can be passed from eNB to the E-SMLC using
LPPa. 3GPP considers it as "Uplinki E-CIDi Positioning Procedures" (see section
8.3.4, 3GPP 36.305), see "8.3.4.3.1 E-SMLC-initiated Position Measurement " as
well.

Look at the "3GPP 36.455 Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA);
LTEi Positioning Protocoli A (LPPa)"

According to it E-SMLC can request AoA in "E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST"

message inside Measured Quantities IE.

measurement algorithm

Thank you very much agur for helping me out and the information u given realy
helped me if you could help me out that if you know single strength measuring
algorithm in matlab.

thank you.

kind regards

Not of much help here, as did

Not of much help here, as did not work on matlab ..found one on web
https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/1811/25093/1/Winfree_Sean_Undergrad_...

useful if you dont have it.
