High-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase by Shaoshuai FAN, Zhiqiang RONG, Hui TIAN, Lihua LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy and the speed of position solution in indoor wireless environment, a high-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase was proposed.By introducing the reference terminal, the influence of clock error between devices on the accuracy of the positioning algorithm was completely eliminated by using the double difference between the carrier phase measurements of the terminal to be positioned and the reference terminal.Taking advantage of the invariability of integer ambiguity during the phase-locked loop lock-off, an iterative integer ambiguity resolution algorithm based on multi-time point measurement data was designed, and the fast integer ambiguity resolution was realized.After the integer ambiguity was solved, the terminal to be located could be located with high precision by using accurate carrier phase difference measurement.The simulation results show that the positioning algorithm proposed can completely overcome the influence of clock error on positioning performance, and can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy at very few sampling time points.…”

Joint quadrature modulation and network coding for cooperative Hybrid-ARQ by Xiao-ye SHI, Jian-hua GE, Jing LI, De-feng REN

“…In order to improve the transmission efficiency of quadrature modulated cooperative diversity system,the joint network coding and quadrature modulated scheme for coo ve hybrid automatic repeat request (NC-QM-HARQ)was proposed.By introducing network coding in the retransmission,this scheme could retransmit more information at the same time,thus the retransmission time was saved,resulting in the improvement of the throughput.Furthermore,based on the system's Markov state transition model,the fra error rate (FER)and delay performance in the modulation of M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)were investigated,therefore the closed approximate solution of the throughput was acquired.Simulation results show that,the proposed s outperforms the traditional quadrature modulated coop-erative diversity system HARQ scheme by a throughput gain of approximate 8% in the following scenes:2PAM modula-tion at 5dB SNR,4PAM at 10dB and 8PAM at 15dB.…”
