A Two-Stage TOA Estimation Scheme for OFDM-Based WLAN Systems in Indoor Environments

摘要

In this letter, a two-stage TOA estimation scheme is proposed for positioning in OFDM-based WLAN systems under indoor environments. The estimation scheme consists of coarse estimation and fine estimation. The presented scheme effectively exploits the preamble of the OFDM-based WLAN for accurate estimation. The simulation results exhibit that the performance of the proposed approach is comparable to that of super-resolution estimation even with lower computational complexity.
