Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of determining a Time of Arrival (ToA) of a wireless communication signal. For example, a method may include receiving a signal over a wireless communication channel, detecting a symbol boundary of a symbol of the signal, and determining a ToA of the signal based on the symbol boundary and a channel estimation of the wireless communication channel.

Systems and methods for determining a location of user equipment (UE) in a wireless system can comprise receiving reference signals via a location management unit (LMU) having two or more co-located channels, wherein the two or more co-located channels are tightly synchronized with each other and utilizing the received reference signals to calculate a location of the UE. Some systems may include multichannel synchronization with a standard deviation of less than or equal 10 ns. Some systems may include two LMUs, with each LMU having internal synchronization, or one LMU with tightly synchronized signals.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for using known geographical information in directional wireless communication systems. In some aspects, an estimated position of a receiver relative to a transmitter may be determined based at least in part on known geographical information, and a desired beam direction for wireless communication from the transmitter to the receiver may be searched for based at least in part on the estimated position of the receiver.

A radio analysis apparatus includes: a processor that calculates a modulation index of a radio signal generated by performing frequency shift keying on a baseband signal, based on phase shift amounts of the radio signal; and a memory that holds information in which bit patterns of the baseband signal are associated with correction values for correcting the phase shift amounts that have dropped by band limitation on the baseband signal. The processor restores the bit patterns of the baseband signal based on the phase shift amounts of the radio signal, corrects the phase shift amounts of the radio signal by using the correction values corresponding to the restored bit patterns, and calculates the modulation index based on the corrected phase shift amounts.
