  • Abstract
    In this paper we propose a method for distance estimation between two transceivers. The method is based on controlling transmission times of packets and calculation of the relative phase-shifts of the OFDM subcarriers. We demonstrate the system using simulations of a bit and cycle accurate VHDL model of an IEEE 802.11a WLAN transceiver and the distance measurement algorithm.
