Cramer-Rao bounds in the estimation of time of arrival in fading channels

Abstract: This paper computes the Cramer-Rao bounds for the time of arrival estimation in a multipath Rice and Rayleigh fading scenario, conditioned to the previous estimation of a set of propagation channels, since these channel estimates (correlation between received signal and the pilot sequence) are sufficient statistics in the estimation of delays. Furthermore, channel estimation is a constitutive block in receivers, so we can take advantage of this information to improve timing estimation by using time and space d… Show more

“…The transmitter radiates a probing signal and all the receivers observe the signal through two paths: the direct propagation path from transmitter and the indirect reflection path from the object. Each receiver can obtain a differential delay time measurement of the two paths from autocorrelation technique [34] and a bearing angle measurement of the object from the array signal processing technique [35] if the conditions of these pre-processing steps (e.g. sufficient observation period and signal bandwidth) are satisfied.…”
