Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for detecting earliest channel path and/or determining time of arrival of signals in location tracking systems are described. An ultra-wideband (UWB) signal may be received from a tag. A noise estimation level above which the UWB signal is detectable may be determined using a noise estimation metric. A channel impulse response (IR) energy level may be determined using a channel energy metric. A leading edge window of the UWB signal may be identified. The leading edge window may be based on, at least in part, the noise estimation level and the channel IR energy level.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to jamming detection for radio frequency (RF) front-end circuitry. For example, certain aspects provide an apparatus having a first counter configured to count a number of times that a power of a reception signal exceeds a first threshold. The apparatus also includes a second counter configured to count a number of measurements of the power of the reception signal. The apparatus further includes control logic having a first input coupled to an output of the first counter and having a second input coupled to an output of the second counter. The control logic is configured to determine an amount of jamming over a measurement window based on the number of times that the power of the reception signal exceeds the first threshold and on the number of measurements.

Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a receiver device may identify an analog to digital converter (ADC) clipping rate for one or more measurement windows. The receiver device may modify, based at least in part on a determination that the ADC clipping rate does not satisfy a threshold, a low noise amplifier (LNA) gain value to be used by the receiver device. The receiver device may receive a signal using the modified LNA gain value. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A ranging procedure is performed using interference cancellation using preamble messages from a plurality of objects, each of which includes a pre-defined orthogonal design coded modulation patterns. A channel for an object may be estimated using the pre-defined orthogonal design coded modulation patterns in the preamble messages received from objects to remove interference of the preamble message received from other objects. A range to an object may be determined based on a determined delay in the preamble message from that object. The range may be used to assist in determining the position of the object. The pre-defined preamble message may be transmitted by receiving a schedule for an access point in a network for a ranging procedure and periodically transmitting a pre-defined preamble message for the ranging procedure, the pre-defined preamble message includes an orthogonal design coded modulation pattern.
