The Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD) method is one of the emergency positioning technologies that has been standardized for GSM systems in the U.S. In this paper, we apply the E-OTD approach to a (30 kHz) IS-I36 TDMA system in order to study the effect of BTS clock drift on OTD estimation accuracy. We show that the presence of a constant BTS clock drift systematically biases the OTD estimates and causes the RMS OTD error to grow with increasing observation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
