Abstract
For indoor location of a wireless device, use of Digital Television (DTV) signals for receiver location allows for high yield, precise location estimates. The device location is determined based on pseudo-ranges between the device and a plurality of DTV transmitters. The pseudo-ranges are determined based on the known and a priori unknown portions of the DTV signals received by the device and monitor stations. A new Payload Correlation Procedure (payload=unknown DTV data segments) to locate a client device is employed, and a Field Correlation Procedure, which uses only known data segments of the DTV signal, may be used in conjunction with the Payload Correlation Procedure. This approach addresses the problem presented by the limited size of the radio communications link between the Location Server and Client versus the very large bandwidth of multiple DTV channels.
