Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for generating a reliability index for a parameter estimation value derived from a signal by using correlation analysis.SOLUTION: The method is started by acquiring an indication indicating that a non-visual line signal condition exists or may probably exist and/or an indication indicating that a signal condition of a plurality of routes exists or may probably exist. A reliability index for a parameter estimation value is derived in accordance with these indications. The parameter estimation value is a signal arrival time estimation value, and the reliability index is a root mean square error of the arrival time estimation values. Then, the indication indicating that the non-visual line signal condition exists or may probably exist is acquired based on a measurement value of strength of a correlation function at a peak. A strength measurement value of the correlation function at the peak is energy (E/I) in each chip which is divided by a total receiving output or energy of the correlation function at the peak.
Abstract:
A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCURATELY DETERMINING TIME OF ARRIVAL USING A MATHEMATICAL MODEL (122) THAT MIMICS A CORRELATION FUNCTION. A CORRELATION VALUE IS SAMPLED AT A PREDETERMINED PERIODIC INTERVAL AND A MAXIMUM CORRELATION VALUE, COINCIDING WITH A PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME, IS DETERMINED. THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL (122) USES THE MAXIMUM MEASURED CORRELATION VALUE AND CORRELATION VALUES AT ADJACENT SAMPLE POINTS TO DETERMINE COEFFICIENTS FOR THE SELECTED MATHEMATICAL MODEL (122). THE COEFFICIENTS MAY BE CALCULATED AND USED TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL PEAK, WHICH MAY FALL IN-BETWEEN THE SAMPLE POINTS. THE ACTUAL PEAK VALUE IS USED TO ACCURATELY DETERMINE THE TIME OF ARRIVAL OF A SIGNAL. TIME OF ARRIVAL SIGNALS FROM A PLURALITY OF REMOTE TRANSMITTERS ARE USED ALONG WITH CONVENTIONAL TRIANGULATION TECHNIQUES TO ACCURATELY DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE WIRELESS UNIT.
Abstract:
"seleção de taxa para um sistema ofdm". na presente invenção são apresentadas técnicas para determinar a taxa para uma transmissão de dados em um sistema ofdm. a taxa de dados máxima que pode ser transmitida com confiança através de um determinado canal de multipercurso (não monótono) pelo sistema ofdm é determinado com base em uma medida para um canal (monótono) equivalente. para um determinado canal de multipercurso e uma taxa específica (que pode ser indicativa de uma taxa de dados específica, de um esquema de modulação e uma taxa de codificação), a medida é inicialmente obtida a partir de uma taxa de dados equivalente e de um esquema de modulação específico. é determinada a seguir, uma snr limite necessária para transmitir com confiança a taxa de dados específica usando o esquema de modulação específico e taxa de codificação. a taxa específica é julgada como suportada pelo canal de multipercurso caso a medida seja maior ou igual à snr limite. a transmissão incremental é usada para considerar erros na taxa de dados determinada.
Abstract:
A system and method for assisting an integrated GPS/wireless terminal unit in acquiring one or more GPS satellite signals from the GPS satellite constellation. The invention includes a method for narrowing the PN-code phase search. That is, by accounting for the variables in geographic location and time delay relative to GPS time, the systems and methods of the present invention generate a narrow code-phase search range that enables the terminal unit to more quickly acquire and track the necessary GPS satellites, and thereby more quickly provide accurate position information to a requesting entity.
