In this paper, we proposed new methods for estimation of time delay and time-frequency delay in impulsive noise environment. The proposed methods are developed using the theory of ${\alpha}-stable$ distribution, including the fractional negative order moment(FNOM) and minimum dispersion(MD), which are formulated for the time delay estimation and the fractional negative order ambiguity function and complex minimum dispersion, which are difined for the joint estimation of time delay and frequency delay. Through simulation work, its performance was compared with various other algorithms. As a result, while the conventional approaches based on second-order statistics are only verified in Gaussian noise environent ($S{\alpha}S$ noise with ${\alpha}$=2) and also the recently proposed robust methods by Nikias[7] are verified only in limited impulse noise ($S{\alpha}S$ noise with the range of $1<{\alpha}{\le}2$), the methods proposed are able to estimate the time delay in Gaussian and any impulsive noise environments($S{\alpha}S$ noise with the range of $0<{\alpha}{\le}2$).

This paper presents the ASF(Additional Secondary Factor) modeling of DGPS beacon signal. In addition to DGPS's original purpose, the feasibility to utilize DGPS system for timing and navigation has been studied. For timing and navigation, the positioning system must know the accurate time delay of signal traveling from the transmitter to receiver. Then the delay can be used to compute the user position. The DGPS beacon signal transmits the data using medium frequency, which travels through the surface and cause the additional delay rather than the speed of light according to conductivities and elevations of the irregular terrain. We introduce the modeling of additional delay(ASF) and present the results of implementation. The similar approach is Locan-C. Loran-C has been widely used as the maritime location system and was enhanced to E-Loran(Enhanced Loran). E-Loran system uses the ASF estimation method and is able to provide the more precise location service. However there was rarely research on this area in Korea. Hence, we introduce the ASF and its estimation model. With the comparison of the same condition and data from the original Monteath model and ASF estimation data of Loran system respectively, we guarantee that the implementation is absolutely perfect. For further works, we're going to apply the ASF estimation model to Korean DGPS beacon system with the Korean terrain data.

This paper studies the state estimation problem for static neural networks with time-varying delay. Unlike other studies, the controller scheme, which involves time-varying sampling and uncertainties, is first employed to design the state estimator for delayed static neural networks. Based on Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality technique, the non-fragile sampled-data estimator is designed such that the resulting estimation error system is globally asymptotically stable with $H_{\infty}$ performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed results is demonstrated by a numerical example.

In the major operation section of urban railway, there has been occurred habitual delay, and delay propagation and spread to consecutive trains. Therefore, this delay cause the increase of operation time and irregular operation, also the increase of crowd and inconvenience to passengers. The railway operation plan is a promise to passengers and must have reliability. In the case of high frequency urban operation, dwell time have considerable influence on operational headway, so it is very important to efficiently plan and control the dwell time at stations. In this paper, the survey of the research on dwell time for urban railways is presented. The practical estimation model for minimum required dwell time, and the numerical example and validity are proposed.

The aim of the work described in this paper is to develop a complex underground acoustic system which detects and localizes the origin of an underground hammering sound using an array of hydrophones located about 100m underground. Three different methods for the sound localization will be presented, a time-delay method, a power-attenuation method and a hybrid method. In the time-delay method, the cross correlation of the signals received from the array of sensors is used to calculate the time delays between those signals. In the power-attenuation method, the powers of the received signals provide a measure of the distances of the source from the sensors. In the hybrid method, both informations of time-delays and power-ratios are coupled together to produce better performance of position estimation. A new acoustic imaging technique has been developed for improving the hybrid method. This new acoustic imaging method shows the multi-dimensional distribution of the normalized cost function, so as to indicate the trend of the minimizing direction toward the source location. For each method the sound localization is carried out in three dimensions underground. The distance between the true and estimated origins of the source is 28m for a search area of radius 250m.

Designing a reliable multicast-based network that scales to the size of a multicast group member is difficult because of the diversity of user demands. The loss inferences of internal nodes by end-to-end measurements do not require the use of complete statistics because of the use of maximum likelihood estimation. These schemes are very efficient and the inferred value converges fast to its true value. In the theoretical analysis, internal delay estimation is possible but the analysis is very complex due to the continuity property of the delay. In this paper, we propose the use of a bottleneck location estimator. This can overcome the analytical difficulty of the delay estimation using the power spectrum of the packet interarrival time as the performance metric. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can be used for bottleneck location inference of internal links in scalable multicasting.

This paper presents a robust state observer design for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems with time delay and external disturbance. A sufficient conditions on the existence of the proposed observer are characterized by linear matrix inequalities. It is also shown that the proposed observer design can reduce the effect on the estimation error of external disturbance up to the prescribed level in spite of the existence of time delay. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the proposed design method.

In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based detection method to identify efficiently the time-delay or multipath channel of ocean acoustic signals due to complex ocean medium and boundary layers. Our proposed method employs wavelet packet transform to analyze the received broadband acoustic signals and applies the matched filter to determine the time region of interest. Also, we present numerical testing that results on both the simulated and real data revealed the efficiency of this method in time-delay estimation and moreover its capability in estimating the time-delay of individual path in multipath channel, in which the arrival patterns are too close to be separated by the matched filter method.

This paper deals with the problem of time delay estimation using de-convolution. Two approaches, conjugate gradient method and the total lease square method have been presented to solve the de-convolution problem. Numerical simulation demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed methods over the conventional GCC based algorithms and FIR filter method.

The travel speed between two locations within the downtown differs according to time horizon and district. Also, There is delay time on numerous traffic signals and bottle neck areas. It has an influence on planning the vehicle routing. However, there are almost no studies focusing on delay time for distance and travel time between two locations among the existing researches for vehicle routing problem (VRP). In this paper, we approach the real VRP by designing the model which estimates the delay time for traffic signal and bottle neck areas. The results of computation experiment demonstrate that proposed method performs well and have better solution than other method not considering the delay time.
