Abstract

A first signal and a second signal are detected. The first and second signals are transmitted according to a timing pattern. An arrival time is identified for the first and second signals. Based on the timing pattern and the estimated arrival times of the first and second signals, a set of parameters is derived that characterize a timing relationship between a first device (100) and a second device (200).
