SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOA AND DOA ACQUISITION AND TRACKING FOR SIGNAL OF OPPORTUNITY POSITIONING

Processes and device configurations, including a receiver structure, are provided to jointly estimate the time-of-arrival (TOA) and azimuth and elevation angles of direction-of-arrival (DOA) from signals of opportunity, such as received cellular long-term evolution (LTE) signals. In one embodiment,...

Zusammenfassung:Processes and device configurations, including a receiver structure, are provided to jointly estimate the time-of-arrival (TOA) and azimuth and elevation angles of direction-of-arrival (DOA) from signals of opportunity, such as received cellular long-term evolution (LTE) signals. In one embodiment, a matrix pencil (MP) algorithm is used to obtain a coarse estimate of the TOA and DOA. Tracking loop configurations are provided to refine the estimates and jointly track the TOA and DOA changes. One or more solutions are provided for acquisition and tracking in the presence of noise and multipath signals. Processes and devices configurations are provided to use refined estimates to determine position and for use in navigation of a device.
