We consider the following positioning problem where several base stations (BS) try to locate a user equipment (UE): The UE sends a positioning signal to several BS. Each BS performs Angle of Arrival (AoA) measurements on the received signal. These AoA measurements as well as a 3D model of the environment are then used to locate the UE. We propose a method to exploit not only the geometrical characteristics of the environment by a ray-tracing simulation, but also the statistical characteristics of the measurements to enhance the positioning accuracy.
