MB-OFDM Ranging Summary • TWTT removes the issue of “turnaround latency”. • MB-OFDM preamble alone enables ranging accurate to ~1 foot (30 cm) per measurement. Addition of sampling-clock phase-correction vernier yields precision better than 10 cm. • Techniques to yield even finer resolution per measurement are under study at Sony, U.Minn. • Multiple measurements over multiple 528 MHz sub-bands will enable preamble-ranging accuracy & precisions to 10 cm or better. • Conclusion: MB-OFDM is fully capable of high accuracy/precision ranging.
