An unbiased impulse response estimation approach is applied to time delay estimation between noisy signals received at two spatially separated sensors. The estimated delay is modeled by an adaptive "nite impulse response "lter whose coe,cients are updated according to a modi"ed least mean square (LMS) scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional LMS t...

Abstract: Accurate channel estimation is necessary for coherent detection and adaptive control techniques, e.g., adaptive modulation and demodulation, of multicarrier signals. In this paper, we study one-dimensional channel estimation in frequencyor time-domain and 2-dimensional channel estimation in time-frequency domain. It is shown that the frequency (time)-domain interpolation channel estim...

The probabilistic methods for power estimation in combinational circuits are classified in two categories according to the adopted gate-delay model. The zero and real gate-delay power estimation methods. Under zero delay model, assuming spatiotemporal independence among the circuit signals, the switching activity, E(sw), of a circuit node, x, is given by ) 1 ( 2 2 ) ( 1 1 0 1 x x x x p p p p sw...

Real-time traffic requires strict delay constraints in terms of maximum cell transfer delay(CTD) and cell delay variation(CDV). In order to support the required quality of service (QoS) of each connection in ATM networks, it is important to estimate the current status of networks by using local information such as cell delay and delay variation in switches. We develop a framework for obtaining ...

Motivated by interest in making delay announcements to arriving customers who must wait in call centers and related service systems, we study the performance of alternative real-time delay estimators for the delay before entering service of an arriving customer based on recent customer delay experience. We characterize performance by the bias and the mean squared error (MSE) We do analysis and ...

Time-delay estimation technique is a key to acoustic temperature field measurement. In order to acquire a stable acoustic time-of-flight in low SNR, a time-delay estimation method combined multilayer cross-correlation and multilayer auto-correlation (MC method for short) is proposed. Crosscorrelation method and second correlation method are described briefly for comparison. Theory analysis and ...
