The location of unmodified wireless assets in a wireless communication
network may be identified using time differences of arrivals of a
communication sequence at different network receivers. Time-stamping
devices may include correlator circuits in parallel with signal decoders
to time-stamp communication sequences. Cellular wireless networks may be
frequency-multiplexed to increase spatial time-stamping density. Tags may
be attached to passive assets to provide location identification
information to network devices. Locations of assets broadcasting standard
802.11 radio frequency structures may be identified. Noise inherent in
correlating a communication sequence may be reduced by using a selected
correlation function.
