Generic Architecture for Ranging • Received signal energy is collected • Energy vector is processed to suppress noise artifacts and enhance signal containing parts • Edge detection is performed channel Signal Signal Energy Collector Channel Characteristics Signal Energy Edge Detector Signal Energy Conditioner Signal Parameters TOA Estimate
Outline • Ranging signal waveforms • SOP Interference • Deficiencies of coherent energy combining • A look into signal energy conditioning techniques • Edge detection for ranging
Signal Waveforms optional One Bit TH-freedom Always Empty Always Empty Always Empty M chip times The Other Bit optional TH freedom Always Empty Always Empty Always Empty Enough long not to cause IFI M chip times
SOP Interference • Without time-hopping, edge information may not be recovered under SOP interference Desired user signal Interference Received energy Deviation from the true the TOA
Example Acquisition Waveform • Using the two specified bit waveforms (TH freedom = 0) Piconet-I Implicit TH code: {1,3,3,1} – bits: {1,0,0,1} Bit interval Piconet-II Implicit TH code: {1,1,3,3} - bits: {1,1,0,0}
SOP Interference (2) • Strong SOP interference even with a different transmission pattern can be deleterious to coherent energy combining • Example simulation: • CM2 (desired and interferer with different channel realizations) • Energy Window Size = 4ns • EBN0 = 22dB (both desired and interferer) desired transmitter receiver interferer True TOA
How to Filter Out SOP Interference? • Signal processing of energy samples before coherent combining • Correlation properties of the samples • Frequency domain analysis (FFT) • Statistical multiplexing

Desired user energy forms vertical lines in multipath channels Interference forms a pattern that repeats itself along a vertical line (Left) – energy window size: 4ns, TH code length: 4 FFT Analysis of Energy Image
Simulation settings (single pulse): CM2 (Residential NLOS) and no SOP interference EBN0 = 18dB, TF=200ns, WE = 4ns Transmission duration 60µs (for 10 images) Vertical edge detection with a “Prewitt” method (see Matlab image toolbox) RAM: 1.5KB N 1 N=1 N = 10 30 30 Frame index Frame index 1 1 50 Energy window index 50 Energy window index 1 1 Energy Image Superposition • When pulse compression with M chips, edges will be only thicker and MN images needed

Summary and Conclusion • Coherent energy combining may not be sufficient to accurately detect leading edges • Energy images provide more insight into whereabouts of leading edge even under dense multipath and SOP interference • Signals should be transmitted with a distinguishable pattern for the energy detectors • This can be achieved by • Coarse block time-hopping • Pulse compression with very low PRF
