  3. Outline • A system model • Delay estimation for a single-path propagation • A first arrival detection method for a multipath environment • Simulation results • Conclusion

  4. A system model Delay estimation/ First-arrival detection A delay estimate Correlator A/D A transmit signal

  5. A Delay Estimation Algorithm

  6. What is the problem? h(tn) h(tm+1) correlation function h(tm+Z-1) h(tm) tm+1 tm+2 tm+Z tn Given samples of a correlation function, how to estimate the time instant corresponding to the peak?

  7. autocorrelation correlation tm+1 tm+2 tm+Z tn What is information we know? correlation function correlation = autocorrelation of s(t) +noise The expression is known. Statistics is known.

  8. How to use the information? Formulate a maximum likelihood estimation. However, it is complicated: • One dimension iterative searching • Nonlinear autocorrelation function • Lots of samples (N) involved

  9. How to simplify? Intuition: samples near the peak are more important. h(tn) h(tm+1) h(tm+Z-1) h(tm) •  • Use less samples • Taylor expansion of autocorrelation function around the peak tm+1 tm+2 tm+Z tn

  10. A simple solution where

  11. A simple solution • An algebraic solution, no iterative search • Less than 4 samples in general • No nonlinear function any more • Independent of noise level • Optimal in the sense that the estimate is approaching to the theoretical lower limit as over-sampling is sufficiently large.

  12. A First-arrival Detection Method

  13. Why the problem is difficult? The estimation performance would be degraded considerably when the energy of the first arriving component is not dominant among multipath components of a received signal.

  14. Our Approach • A similar idea to the solution of near-far problem in multiuser detection. • An iterative scheme: In each iteration, the present strongest signal component is estimated, and is removed from sample data to be processed in the next iteration.

  15. A graphic illustration h(t) There are three multipath components, and the second path is strongest. i=2 h(tn) i=3 i=1 h(t2) h(t1) t1 t2 tn t

  16. A graphic illustration (cont’d) h(t) In the first iteration, n=1, we estimate the time delay and amplitude the strongest multipath. h(ti1+2) h(ti1+1) Using less samples is better to avoid the interference from other multipath components. t

  17. Delay and Amplitude Estimation • Delay estimation can use the previous proposed method • Using less samples • Amplitude estimation, the ML estimation based on the delay estimate, known autocorrelation function and correlation samples.

  18. A graphic illustration (cont’d) h(t) The strongest multipath is removed by using the delay estimate, amplitude estimate and the autocorrelation function. Removed t

  19. A graphic illustration (cont’d) h(t) Since we are only interested on first arrival delay, samples with time instants later than the delay estimated just obtained is removed. n=1 Removed t

  20. Robust to interference from other strong multipath components • Low computational complexity. • let the first arrival component be the M-th strongest component, the complexity is proportional to M. Advantages

  21. Simulation Results

  22. Notation • The conventional method: directly select the time instant corresponding to the largest sample. • Theoretical limit: assume a continuous correlation function is used. • Over-sampling ratio = sampling frequency/effective bandwidth. • E.g., A Gaussian waveform N(0,a^2) has the effective bandwidth 1/2a, a=1ns, effective bandwidth 500MHz.

  23. Example 1: sampling frequency=420M

  24. Example 2: sampling frequency=625M

  25. Example 3: sampling frequency=1.25G

  26. Concluding Remarks • A delay estimation method for mitigating the error due to digital sampling • A first arrival detection algorithm which is robust to weak first arriving signals
