A new methodology for optimal delay detection in mobile localization context

In this paper, we address the problem of delay detection in mobile localization context. A new methodology for delay detection is introduced, namely the Cell-Averaging Minimum Error Rate CA-MER detector, based on the minimization of the true error probability instead of minimizing only the miss probability for a constant false alarm rate. Simulation results show that the CA-MER detector operates better than the classical ones especially for low SNR values.
