Energy Efficient Received Signal Strength-Based Target Localization and Tracking Using Support Vector Regression

Emitter localization using received-strength-signal data

This paper considers a scenario in which signals from an emitter at an unknown location are received at a number of different collinear locations. The receiver can determine the received signal strength, but no other parameters of the signal. Postulating a log-normal transmission model with a constant but unknown path loss exponent and, also, an unknown transmit power and known noise variance, ...

Train Tracking and Shadowing Estimation Based on Received Signal Strength

In this work, we present an on-board solution for train position tracking that can be used in cases of GPS failures and that does not suffer from the error accumulation problem of Dead Reckoning (DR). It is based on Received Signal Strength (RSS) measured in radio communication systems by several mobile stations having antennas placed on top of different carriages of the train. As the RSS is af...

Accurate and simple source localization using differential received signal strength

Locating an unknown-position source using received signal strength (RSS) measurements in an accurate and low-complexity manner is addressed in this paper. Given that the source transmit power is unknown, we employ the differential RSS information to devise two computationally attractive localization methods based on the weighted least squares (WLS) approach. The main ingredients in the first al...

Multi-Target Tracking using Signal Strength Measurements

Many surveillance tasks rely on the generation of stable, continuous tracks of objects of interest. Often, track continuity has a higher priority than track accuracy, as valuable information on the identity or the origin of an object is lost by each track drop. The main source of track fragmentation are missing detections due to a limited field of view or technical or topographical masking. In ...
