  • Determining a position of a mobile receiver
    Patent number: 10175339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a mobile receiver for determining a position of a mobile receiver RX, which moves in an unknown but at least quasi-stationary environment, on the basis of signals s(kT) which are emitted by a transmitter TX positioned at an unknown position and immobile in the environment, wherein the receiver RX receives as reception signal q ? ( k , ? ) = ? i = 0 N ? ( k ) - 1 ? S i ? ( ? ) a signal s(kT) which is emitted by the transmitter TX and which is transmitted via N(k) transmission paths as signal components si(?), where k:=time step, ?:=time delay, and i=0, . . .
