Abstract
Methods and systems related to neural networks or other function approximators operate for training a neural network is provided, or another function approximator, for inferring a predetermined time of arrival of a predetermined transmitted signal on the basis of channel-impulse-responses, CIRs, of transmitted signals between a mobile antenna and a fixed antenna, the method having: obtaining a channel impulse response condition characteristic, CIRCC, descriptive of channel impulse responses of transmitted signals associated with mobile antenna positions within a reach of the fixed antenna; generating, by simulation, a training set of simulated CIRs which are associated with different times of arrival in one or more simulated scenes, and which fit to the CIRCC; training the neural network, or other function approximator, using the simulated CIRs and the different associated times of arrivals to obtain a parametrization of the neural network, or other function approximator, associated with the CIRCC.
