    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for time transfer. The invention has particular application in the alignment of slave clocks to a master clock and dealing with packet delay variations. In embodiments of the invention, the slave clock uses the residence times measured by end-to-end transparent clocks to compensate for clock synchronization errors that arise due to variability in message transfer delays. Embodiments provide a simple linear approximation technique and a Kalman filter-based technique for estimating offset and skew of the slave clock.

    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for time synchronization. The invention has particular application in the alignment of slave clocks to a master clock and in dealing with packet delay variation and dynamic asymmetries in the network links between them. In embodiments of the invention, the slave clock uses the peer link delay and residence times measured by peer-to-peer transparent clocks to compensate for clock synchronization errors that arise due to variability in message transfer delays. Embodiments provide a simple linear approximation technique and a Kalman filter-based technique for estimating offset and skew of the slave clock.

    Abstract: 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. The techniques can operate in real-time and involve simple calculations.

    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for localization. It is particularly concerned with localization techniques based on time difference of arrival for wireless devices. Embodiments of the invention relate to techniques in which a transmitter transmits periodic distinguishable signals which are relayed upon receipt by the client whose location is sought in a form distinguishable from that of the transmitter. Signals from both the transmitter and the client are received by at least three signal receivers which generate a time difference of arrival based on the difference taken for a signal to reach the receiver directly and via the client. Further embodiments of the invention provide a phase detector in the receivers to determine the time difference of arrival between the signals.
