摘要:
A method is disclosed, such as a method for determining a position of the positioning device, for synchronization of positioning devices, and/or for synchronization of slave anchor electronic devices. The method is performed by a system comprising a master anchor electronic device, and a plurality of slave anchor electronic devices including a first slave anchor electronic device. The method comprises broadcasting, from the master anchor electronic device, a first ultra-wide band, UWB, signal, at a first predetermined time. The method comprises receiving, at the first slave anchor electronic device, the first UWB signal. The method comprises determining, at the first slave anchor electronic device, a first transmission time based on the first UWB signal. The method comprises broadcasting, from the first slave anchor electronic device, a second UWB signal at the first transmission time.

Embodiments of a method and a device are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for operating an impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) device is disclosed. The method involves acquiring a signal, integrating one or more synchronization symbols in a synchronization field of the signal to determine an initial channel impulse response (CIR) measurement, and detecting whether a start-of-frame delimiter (SFD) field of the signal is identified during integration. When the SFD field of the signal is identified, the method further involves ceasing integration of the one or more synchronization symbols, scaling the initial CIR measurement, and determining a final CIR measurement based on the scaled CIR measurement. When the SFD field is not identified, the method further involves incrementing a counter configured to count the number of the one or more synchronization symbols integrated, and continuing integration of the one or more synchronization symbols until the SFD field is identified.

An acquisition detector and method include a preamble detector configured to search in a plurality of symbols for a preamble match with a known preamble pattern when a power level of the input signal exceeds a determined noise threshold. The acquisition detector further includes a frame delimiter detector configured to search in the plurality of symbols for a frame delimiter match with a known frame delimiter pattern when the preamble match is identified and the power level of the input signal exceeds a determined noise threshold.

A receiving apparatus for receiving a signal from a transmitting includes a receiving unit configured to receive the signal from the transmitting apparatus; a selecting unit configured to select whether to consider channel information in estimating an offset value between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus; an offset value estimating apparatus configured to estimate the offset value between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus either considering the channel information or without considering the channel information based on a selection made by the selecting unit; a synchronization performing unit configured to perform synchronization based on the estimated offset value; and a demodulation unit configured to perform demodulation of the received signal based on a result of performing the synchronization.

The invention relates to a method for determining the arrival time of a UWB pulse at a receiver. When the pulse is modulated at an RF frequency, the receiver comprises: a quadrature demodulator (330); a first correlation stage (351, 352) for correlating the signal in phase with the first and second signals of an orthogonal base over a time window and a second correlation stage (353, 354) for correlating the signal in quadrature with the first and second signals of the orthogonal base over the same window; a phase estimator (360) that estimates the phase of the signal received in the orthogonal base on the basis of the correlation results from the first and/or second correlation stage(s); and computing means (370) for determining the arrival time on the basis of the estimated phase.
