This paper presents an experiment using real Long-Term Evolution (LTE) signals to extend positioning from outdoors to indoors. LTE signals are of interest for positioning applications because of their availability indoors, where GNSS signal reception is limited. Different approaches for time of arrival (TOA) extraction are evaluated for their positioning performance, combined with an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for movement tracking. The paper shows that the performance is surprisingly good, with high visibility of cellular signals even in the difficult indoor test environment, and with a positioning error once indoors smaller than 8m in 50% of cases.
