Abstract

A radio location method for code-division multiple-access (CDMA) microcellular networks is investigated. The method discussed focuses on the use of time difference of arrival (TDOA) estimates for deriving the position of a mobile unit in a CDMA system, where the transmitted signal is received by several base stations (BSs). The TDOA estimates are obtained by using a delay-lack loop. A similar method is used in the global position system (GPS), but its performance in an urban microcellular propagation environment has not been previously studied. Simulation results are given for different radio propagation environments
