Joint estimation of direction of arrival and angular spread using the knowledge of the power angle density

The paper deals with the problem of mobile location in the presence of angular scattering. The proposed approach consists in using the knowledge of the power angle density (PAD) to estimate the azimuth, the sight of the mobile and their respective angular spread.
