Rayleigh - Quotient and Iterative - Threshold - Test - Based Blind TOA Estimation for IR - UWB Systems

چکیده
© 2010 Bin Shen et al. 333 This letter proposes a non-coherent blind time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation scheme for impulse radio ultra-wideband systems. The TOA estimation is performed in two consecutive phases: the Rayleigh-quotient theorem-based coarse-signal acquisition (CSA) and the iterative-threshold-test-based fine time estimation (FTE). The proposed scheme serves in a blind manner without demanding any a priori knowledge of the channel and the noise. Analysis and simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly increases the signal detection probability in CSA and ameliorates the TOA estimation accuracy in FTE.

Performance Evaluation of Threshold-Based TOA Estimation Techniques Using IR-UWB Indoor Measurements
Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) technology is a viable candidate for enabling accurate localization through time of arrival (TOA) based ranging techniques. These ranging techniques exploit the high time resolution of the UWB signals to estimate the TOA of the first signal path. Nevertheless, these techniques are facing the problem of proper multipath mitigation especially in harsh propagation enviro...
متن کاملNon-Coherent Energy Collection Approach for TOA Estimation in UWB Systems
This paper examines the performance of time of arrival (TOA) estimation techniques for an UWB system employing a non-coherent energy collection receiver. The performance of two different algorithms, namely, the threshold-crossing (TC) and the maximum selection (MAX) algorithms, are compared in terms of TOA estimation error. The effect of the TOA estimation error on position calculation is evalu...
متن کاملUWB pulse detection and TOA estimation using GLRT
In this paper, a novel statistical approach is presented for time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation based on first path (FP) pulse detection using a sub-Nyquist sampling ultra-wide band (UWB) receiver. The TOA measurement accuracy, which cannot be improved by averaging of the received signal, can be enhanced by the statistical processing of a number of TOA measurements. The TOA statistics are modeled...
متن کاملTime-of-arrival estimation by UWB radios with low sampling rate and clock drift calibration
In this paper, we propose a time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation scheme using impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB). This scheme is featured by a low sampling rate and is robust against clock drift. Low-rate stroboscopic sampling, which can achieve an equivalent sampling rate as high as the Nyquist sampling rate, is adopted to achieve a high resolution TOA estimate by IR-UWB. Since a long preamble ...

© 2013 Mustapha Djeddou et al. 757 This paper deals with the estimation of the time of arrival (TOA) of ultra-wideband signals under IEEE 802.15.4a channel models. The proposed approach is based on a randomness test and consists of determining whether an autoregressive (AR) process modeling an energy frame is random or not by using a distance to measure the randomness. The proposed method uses ...
