Performance of Root-MUSIC on TOA Estimation for an Indoor Spread Spectrum Ranging System
نویسنده
چکیده
An indoor TOA-based ranging system which uses an audible spread spectrum signal is presented. The indoor acoustic environment is modeled with a dense multipath propagation channel whose characteristics are very different from those of outdoor environments. The complexity and site-specific nature of indoor acoustic propagation, when using traditional correlation techniques, often lead to the creation of undetectable direct-line-of-sight (DLOS) situations. It is shown that by using an LFM signal and MUSIC super-resolution techniques, namely the root-MUSIC, the substantial TOA errors can be reduced significantly and the range accuracy improved by a factor of at least 3. Key-Words: indoor localization, root-MUSIC, LFM.

Design and Performance Evaluation of an Indoor Ranging System Using Audio Chirp and MUSIC Algorithms
In most existing indoor acoustic ranging systems, a range is estimated based on measuring the TOA of an ultrasonic wave. Due to high directivity of ultrasonic transducers and high attenuation of ultrasonic waves with distance in air, these systems cannot provide a range in large indoor environments. To achieve longer ranges, a TOA-based acoustic ranging system that uses a low frequency audible ...

The Time Of Arrival (TOA) of a received signal is the most important parameter for position estimation. The accuracy of the estimated TOA is limited by multipath errors. Consequently, multipath mitigation techniques are essential for high accuracy positioning using TOA observations. Narrow Correlator and double delta correlator were introduced to reduce multipath errors in pseudoranges. These c...
