Abstract:
A device implementing spectral aggregation to generate a wideband channel estimation may include a processor configured to generate a combined channel estimation for one or more channels. For each channel, the processor may be configured to: transmit a first signal to another device; after an amount of time elapses, open a receive window for facilitating detection of a second signal from the other device; receive the second signal from the other device; generate a first channel estimation based on the second signal; and generate the combined channel estimation based on the first channel estimation and a second channel estimation received from the other device. The processor may be configured to aggregate the combined channel estimation generated for each channel into an aggregated channel estimation. The processor may be configured to estimate a time of arrival for a third signal based on the aggregated channel estimation.
