Abstract
A method for estimating a time of arrival of a signal transmitted over a wireless channel, includes receiving the signal by a receiving device; correlating the received signal with a filtered code sequence to create a correlation output, identifying in the correlation output, an observation window associated with a main lobe in the correlation output; and processing the observation window to determine a time of arrival of a first path component in the received signal. The filtered code sequence is formed by incorporating a time of arrival matched filter (TOA-MF) inside predetermined shaped code sequence. The TOA-MF is matched to the predetermined shaped code sequence and is based upon a power delay profile of the wireless channel. The predetermined shaped code sequence is a convolution of a predetermined shaping sequence and a predetermined code sequence.
