The invention discloses a mobile communication uplink
signal positioning method, a sniffer device and a
positioning system, relates to the technical field of
wireless communication, and has the advantages of flexible scheme, low cost, wide application scene and the like. The positioning method comprises the following steps: receiving an uplink
signal of
user equipment through a sniffer device equipped with an antenna;
user equipment identification information is obtained in a collaborative or independent mode; extracting a corresponding
target signal according to the identification information; and finally calculating the position of the
user equipment according to the
target signal. The invention further provides a'time-division switching antenna 'scheme, the effect of a large-scale array can be equivalent by using a low-cost small-scale
antenna array, the hardware cost is remarkably reduced, and the technical pain point in the prior art can be effectively solved.
