Abstract: A method for determining an object's position using different items of sensor information includes: a) reading the sensor information into a Kalman filter, b) merging the sensor information with the Kalman filter, with the Kalman filter supplying as a result estimated values for states and information associated with the estimated values regarding the accuracy of the estimates, c) monitoring the results of the Kalman filter by estimating a probability of accuracy, with which the estimation error lies within an error band, with the probability of accuracy being determined on the basis of a plurality of conditional probabilities, the conditions for which each relate to estimation errors from at least one earlier series.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a parity error in a sequence of DQPSK symbols of a digital transmission system, comprising determining a first demodulated symbol r1; determining a second demodulated symbol r2; determining a first parity symbol p1; determining a second parity symbol p2; determining a super-parity symbol q1; and detecting a parity error in the sequence of DQPSK symbols by comparing a combination of the first parity symbol p1 and the second parity symbol p2 against the super-parity symbol q1, wherein a parity between two DQPSK symbols describes a phase difference between the two DQPSK symbols.
