Abstract
It is well known that non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error has been the major factor impeding the enhancement of accuracy for time of arrival (TOA) estimation and wireless positioning. This article proposes a novel method of TOA estimation effectively reducing the NLOS error by 60%, comparing with the traditional timing and synchronization method. By constructing the orthogonal training sequences, this method converts the traditional TOA estimation to the detection of the first arrival path (FAP) in the NLOS multipath environment, and then estimates the TOA by the round-trip transmission (RTT) technology. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations prove that the method proposed in this article achieves better performance than the traditional methods.
