@inproceedings{11883, abstract = {{In this paper, we experimentally evaluate algorithms for velocity estimation of a GSM 900 mobile terminal which are based on the analysis of the statistical properties of the fast fading process. It is shown how theses statistics can be obtained from the training sequences present in downlink transmission bursts without establishing an active connection. Realistic simulations of a GSM channel according to the COST 207 channel models have been conducted. These models incorporate effects like multipath propagation, fading, cochannel interference and additive noise. It is shown that velocity estimation by searching for the maximum slope of the power density spectrum of the fast fading performs best.}}, author = {{Peschke, Sven and Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold}}, booktitle = {{4th Workshop on Positioning Navigation and Communication (WPNC 2007)}}, keywords = {{additive noise, cellular radio, channel estimation, cochannel interference, COST 207 channel models, downlink transmission bursts, fading channels, fading process, GSM downlink signalling, mobile terminals, multipath channels, multipath propagation, power density spectrum, statistical analysis, statistical properties, telecommunication links, telecommunication terminals, velocity estimation}}, pages = {{217--222}}, title = {{{Velocity Estimation of Mobile Terminals by Exploiting GSM Downlink Signalling}}}, doi = {{10.1109/WPNC.2007.353637}}, year = {{2007}}, }
