Abstract: A method for estimating a position of a vehicle (100) relative to one or more radio transceivers (150). The method including the steps of; obtaining propagation delay data associated with radio transmission between a vehicle transceiver (110) included in the vehicle (100) and the one or more radio transceivers (150); obtaining vehicle motion data related to a trajectory of the vehicle (100); identifying one or more multipath components, MPC, in the propagation delay data, the MPC relates to a radio transmission propagation path between a fixed radio transceiver (150) and the vehicle transceiver (110); determining an MPC track for each identified MPC based on the vehicle motion data and on the propagation delay data, MPC track representing evolution of an MPC over time; and estimating the position of the vehicle (100) relative to the one or more radio transceivers (150) based on the MPC tracks.

Abstract: A method for vehicular self-positioning is executed by a positioning device in a vehicle. The positioning device computes a current estimated position of the vehicle as a function of local motion data obtained from a motion sensor in the vehicle, and operates an RF module in the vehicle to receive a reference signal from one or more base stations in an environment of the vehicle, the respective base station being configured for telecommunication and being part of a 3GPP infrastructure. The positioning device further processes the reference signal to determine measured values of at least one path parameter for a selected set of multipath components, and operates a positioning algorithm, e.g. SLAM, on at least the current estimated position and the measured values to calculate a current output position of the vehicle and position information for an origin of each of the multipath components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies and discloses a method and an apparatus for auto gain control (AGC) in a radio receiver, which can ensure that a radio frequency device, an analog device, and various nodes in a digital domain are non-saturated and that useful signal power is adjusted to a certain power level. According to the present invention, total signal power on an air interface is subtracted from a preset first target power to obtain an analog auto gain control (AAGC) gain, and then a second target power is subtracted from an interference signal power in a digital baseband to obtain a digital auto gain control (DAGC) gain.
