Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating range between a first device and a second device using at least one wireless communication channel defined between the first and second devices are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a set of range measurements, wherein the range measurements include measurements associated with multiple paths taken by signals between the first and second devices; discarding over-ranges caused by multiple signal paths using a variable threshold; and processing the remaining range measurements to obtain an estimated range.

Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating the position of an object such (as a vehicle) are disclosed. The method comprises transmitting a first V2X message from the object to a plurality of spaced apart units; and receiving a set of V2X response messages from at least two units in response to the first V2X message. Each response message comprises an identifier of the object, an identifier of the unit from which the response message was sent, and temporal information associated with the times of receiving a previous V2X message at the unit and transmitting a previous V2X response message from the unit. The position of the object is estimated based on the information contained in the set of V2X response messages and the times of transmitting the previous V2X message from the object and receiving the previous set of V2X response messages at the object.
