Each of the data measurements includes an earliest time of arrival, providing multiple independent measurements for each of the pilot signals. For each cellular base station, a representative measurement is calculated responsive to the independent measurements, which is used to determine position of the mobile station using an AFLT algorithm and/or in conjunction with a GPS algorithm. In some embodiments, the data measurements for each pilot signal further include an RMSE estimate and time of measurement for each time of arrival, and an energy measurement for all resolvable paths. If the mobile station comprises a cell phone, a cell search list and a GPS search list may be provided by a cell base station.

摘要： A parameter estimator for estimating one or more parameter(s) from a signal is described. A correlation function is derived from the signal, and the correlation function analyzed to determine if one or more first peak(s) are present, and, if so, distinguishable from the sidelobe(s) of a second peak. If the one or more first peak(s) are present and distinguishable from the sidelobe(s) of the second peak, the one or more parameter(s) are estimated from the one or more first peak(s). If the one or more first peak(s) are not present, or, if present, are not distinguishable from the sidelobe(s) of the second peak, the one or more parameter(s) are estimated from the second peak. The parameter estimator may be employed in a subscriber station to estimate a parameter such as the time of arrival of one or more base station or sector pilot signals in a wireless communication system. This information may be utilized in an overall advanced forward link trilateration (AFLT) process for estimating the location of the subscriber station.

摘要： A method of producing a reliability metric for a parameter estimate derived from a signal using correlation analysis is described. The method begins by obtaining an indication of whether a non line of sight signal condition is present or likely and/or obtaining an indication of whether a multi-path signal condition is present or likely. Responsive to one or both of these indications, the method derives a reliability metric for the parameter estimate. In one embodiment, the parameter estimate is an estimate of time of arrival (TOA) of the signal, and the reliability metric is root mean square error (RMSE) of the time of arrival estimate. This embodiment obtains an indication of whether a non line of sight signal condition is present or likely based on a measure of the strength of the correlation function at the peak thereof. The measure of the strength of the correlation function at the peak thereof may be energy per chip divided by total received power (Ec/I0) or may simply be the raw energy of the correlation function at the peak. The RMSE metric which is computed in this embodiment varies inversely with the peak strength of the correlation function.

摘要： A system and method are disclosed by which the effects of time of arrival errors may be reduced. In a mobile unit, such as a CDMA device, a correlation pulse is generated when a transmitted code matches a stored reference code. In the absence of multipath effects, correlation pulses are generated in response to the detection of multiple transmissions of the reference code from multiple transmitters. However, multipath effects distort the generated correlation pulses leading to errors in the time of arrival measurements. The present invention calculates the width of the correlation pulses and determines a delay correction factor based on the pulse width. The delay correction factor is added to the measured delay time to provide a more accurate delay time, thus permitting more accurate location measurements based on time of arrival. In alternative embodiments, other signal factors may also be used to apply delay correction factors. The actual location determination may be performed by the mobile unit, or any other positioning determining entity (PDE). The system is also capable of applying correction factors to time of arrival signals received from global positioning system (GPS) satellites.

摘要： A system and method for accurately determining time of arrival using a mathematical model 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 uses the maximum measured correlation value and correlation values at adjacent sample points to determine coefficients for the selected mathematical model. 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.
