Abstract

See full text

Systems, components, and methods for providing location services for mobile/wireless client devices in distributed antenna systems using additional signal propagation delay are disclosed. The location of a client device communicating with an antenna in the distributed antenna system can be correlated to location within at least the communication range of an antenna. To determine with which particular antenna within the distributed antenna system a client device is communicating, the antennas within the distributed antenna system are uniquely identified. In this regard, additional propagation delays are introduced in the communication paths between some or all of the antennas and the head-end equipment in distributed antenna systems to distinguish communications between different antennas. The additional propagation delay can be correlated with a unique antenna, which in turn can be correlated to distance within the distributed antenna system.
