    摘要: This invention relates to methods and devices for bias estimation and correction, particularly for time-of-arrival (TOA) –based wireless geolocation systems. Multipath and non-line-of- sight (NLOS) biases can cause distance estimation errors in the range of tens-hundreds of meters and is particularly problematic in urban and indoor environments. The behaviour of the biases dynamically changes depending on the clutter and/or obstructions between the base station and the mobile device. Aspects of the present invention provide practical real- time bias estimation and correction techniques for TOA-based systems and are based on inferring and estimating the biases from dynamic time differential measurements.

    摘要: This invention relates to methods and devices for compensating for path asymmetry, particularly with reference to time and frequency synchronization. The invention has particular application where time and frequency synchronization over packet networks using, for example, the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is being carried out. Typically communication path delays between a time server (master) and a client (slave) are estimated using the assumption that the forward delay on the path is the same as the reverse delay. As a result, differences between these delays (delay asymmetries) can cause errors in the estimation of the offset of the slave clock from that of the master. Embodiments of the invention provide techniques and devices for compensating for path delay asymmetries that arise when timing protocol messages experience dissimilar queuing delays in the forward and reverse paths.

    摘要: This invention relates to packet selection techniques that can be used in conjunction with a clock recovery mechanism to mitigate the effects of packet delay variation on timing messages exchanged over a packet network, particularly when seeking to synchronize the time of a clock in a slave device to that of a master clock. The packet selection techniques can assist in reducing the noise in the recovered clock signal at the slave device, allowing recovery to a higher quality. Embodiments of the invention provide techniques based on extracting timing packets that create a constant interval between the arrival of selected packets at the slave device and on extracting timing packets which are closest to making the interval between arrival of the selected packets equal to the interval between the departure of the packets.
