Abstract
Data characterizing signal propagation times between a mobile user and a plurality of base stations can be received. A dominant signal propagation path between the mobile user and at least one of the plurality of base stations is via a repeater. A valid mobile user position solution is determined by searching a domain of possible mobile user position solutions using the received data and a predetermined repeater time delay. The valid mobile user position solution can be provided. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
