Kazaz, T. (author), Coutino, Mario (author), Janssen, G.J.M. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author)Synchronization and ranging in internet of things (IoT) networks are challenging due to the narrowband nature of signals used for communication between IoT nodes. Recently, several estimators for range estimation using phase difference of arrival (PDoA) measurements of narrowband signals have been proposed. However, these estimators are based...conference paper 2019
