Abstract
The method measures the time of arrival at a radiocommunication receiver of a received radio signal originating from a transmitting station. A received signal component is stored in a memory of the receiver. An estimation of the information bits carried by the signal component is obtained through demodulation of the signal component by the receiver. The estimation of the time of arrival of the signal is carried out on the basis of the bits thus estimated and the received signal component.
