Abstract
Data characterizing a first signal and a second signal can be received. A first stream of bits for the first signal and a second stream of bits for the second signal can be calculated based on the received data. Each bit in the first stream of bits can characterize a slope of a power of the first signal and each bit in the second stream of bits can characterize a slope of a power of the second signal. The first stream of bits and the second stream of bits can be compared bitwise at a plurality of time-alignment differences for matching bits. Based on the comparing a final time-alignment difference between the first signal and the second signal can be determined. At least one of the receiving, the calculating, the comparing, and the determining can be performed by at least one processor of at least one computing system.
