A New Method Based on Fractals for Delay Estimation

This paper proposes a new method for multi-scale localization. This method employs fractals to create pilot signals for localization. The localization process can be configured in function of the desired resolution (or scale). In this paper we propose also an adaptive localization receiver. The first part of the paper introduces the fractal theory, while the second part is focalized on fractal signal definition used in localization. Finally, simulation results are shown compared to CDMA pilots. The obtained performances of the new method open a real perspectives in localization.
