OPPORTUNISTIC ADJUSTABLE RATE CROSS-AMBIGUITY FUNCTION GEOLOCATION

Abstract:

Methods and systems for dynamically modifying a sampling operation of a sensor. The method includes obtaining a dynamically changing transmission characteristic based on an available channel bandwidth parameter. The dynamically changing transmission characteristic includes at least one of a sample rate, a time period, or a spectral bandwidth. The method further includes updating the sampling operation of the sensor based on the dynamically changing transmission characteristic. The method further includes measuring signal energy at a location of the sensor. The method further includes sampling the signal energy using the sampling operation to obtain sampled data. The method further includes providing the sampled data to a processing entity configured to analyze the data using a dynamically updated cross-ambiguity function.
