Abstract

In this paper, the time-delay estimation problem is studied for multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems. First, a theoretical analysis is carried out by deriving the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for time-delay estimation in a MISO system. Then, the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the time-delay parameter is obtained, which results in a complex optimization problem in general. In order to provide a solution of the ML estimator with low computational complexity, ML estimation based on a genetic global optimization algorithm, namely, differential evolution (DE), is proposed. Simulation studies for various fading scenarios are performed to investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm. ©2010 IEEE.
