Methods and apparatus for estimating time of arrival information associated with a wireless signal are disclosed. In an embodiment, a wireless device (102), or any other suitable device or system, determines a channel type based on multiple occurrences of a reference signal (700) (e.g., determine if a channel is delay-spread or non-delay-spread based on a ratio of largest peak to a mean of other peaks). The wireless device (102) then selects a time of arrival generator (800 or 900) based on the channel type (e.g., use delay-spread estimator if ratio is below threshold, and use non-delay-spread estimator if ratio is above threshold). The wireless device then (102) estimates the time of arrival information using the selected time of arrival generator (800 or 900) (e.g., sum peaks from multiple occasions and then estimate for delay-spread or estimate the time of arrival from each occasion and then average for non-delay-spread).
