You don't need ATSC 3.0 to do this kind of thing! The short-term stability of the oscillators they use for commercial DTV transmission is apparently good enough that just having one local reference to compare GPS vs. each TV station's phase (and distribute that data) can produce a pretty good positioning system. Rosum was doing this back in 2005: https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/tv-signals-used-for-geopos...
