Abstract

We present a distance estimation technique based on ultra-wideband time-of-arrival measurements and assess it with IEEE 802.15.4-2011 devices by Decawave. Experiments show that our technique is about 30 times faster than Decawave's out-of-the-box solution, which can be exploited to improve the precision by one order of magnitude.
