Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide a method for carrier frequency offset and frequency drift cancellation based indoor position estimation. A wireless signal including a plurality of data samples is received at a receiving antenna and from a mobile device. Information relating to an antenna switching pattern for transmitting or receiving the wireless signal may then be obtained from the wireless signal. A phase difference is calculated associated with each data sample of plurality of data samples. Carrier frequency offset and frequency drift cancellation may be applied to the phase difference to obtain a compensated phase difference. A direction estimate of the mobile device may then be generated based at least in part on the compensated phase difference.
