Abstract
A time of arrival of a signal received by a receiving device over a wireless channel is estimated by identifying by the receiving device a location in the time domain of a first path component in a waveform of the received signal, which includes applying a filter to the waveform; identifying in the waveform an observation window associated with an energy rise in the waveform; correlating the identified observation window in the waveform with correlator sequences, and determining a time of arrival offset of the first path component from results of correlating the observation window with the correlator sequences. The properties of the correlator sequences depend on properties of the filter such that the correlator sequences account for the filtering of the waveform during the correlating, the correlator sequences reduce the effect of colored noise after hypothetical first path components; and the correlator sequences correspond to different time shifts of a hypothetical first path component.
