1. A method of estimating an average time of arrival of a radio signal comprising the steps of:

  • transmitting a plurality of radio signals from a transmitter to a receiver through a propagation channel;

    estimating a time of arrival for each of a plurality of the radio signals received at the receiver;

    selecting a subset of the plurality of the radio signals received at the receiver in response to the time of arrival estimates;

    generating an averaged propagation channel estimate from the subset of radio signals; and

    estimating an averaged time of arrival from the averaged propagation channel estimate.
