چکیده
It is well known that non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath propagation biases time of arrival (TOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) estimates thus reducing accuracy of positioning algorithms. In order to achieve timing error reduction, a high-resolution first arriving path detector from propagation channel estimates is derived based on the minimum variance (MV) estimates and normalized minimum variance (NMV) of the power delay profile. The objective of this paper is to determine the potentialities of this optimal detection scheme within the framework of a realistic wireless positioning system. To this end, the timing measurements obtained are fed to a Kalman tracker which finally determines the position with a high degree of accuracy. Keywords—Wireless positioning systems, Kalman tracking, OTDOA, High resolution timing estimation, Non line of sight.

TCP with bandwidth estimation over wireless networks - Vehicular Technology Conference, 2002. Proceedings. VTC 2002-Fall. 2002 IEEE 56th
The Time Intervals based Bandwidth Estimation Technique (TIBET) is a proposed change to the TCP congestion control algorithm which performs a run-time sender-side-only estimation of the bandwidth available to the connection. TIBET uses the estimated bandwidth to allow TCP sources to achieve higher performances both over wired and wireless networks, avoiding overly conservative rate reductions i...

A new model is proposed for the analysis of CDMA systems. This model is a birth and death process whose birth process considers the new call arrival rate, the blocking rate, the effect of soft handoff and the effect of the hand allocation strategy in multiband (multicarrier) CDMA systems. This model accurately predicts the distribution of the number of calls connected to a base station.
متن کاملA TOA-based location algorithm reducing the errors due to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation
An effective location algorithm, which considers nonline-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, is presented. By using a new variable to replace the square term, the problem becomes a mathematical programming problem, and then the NLOS propagation’s effect can be evaluated. Compared with other methods, the proposed algorithm has high accuracy.

Adaptive modulation is a method to increase the data capacity, throughput and efficiency of time division duplexed wireless communication systems. In adaptive modulation, the transmitter continually monitors the dynamic channel and adjusts the transmission parameters such as modulation order, coding rate etc. accordingly. Blind modulation detection schemes play an important role in adaptive sys...
