Mobile Localization and Tracking with Los and Nlos Identification in Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of mobile sensor localization and tracking in an obstructed environment. To solve this problem, a combination of three approaches is proposed: a nonlinear Kalman Filter to estimate the mobile position, a sub filter used jointly with the nonlinear filter to estimate the bias due to the Non-Line Of Sight (NLOS) effect and a low complexity method for Line Of Sight (LOS) and NLOS identification. Based on hypothesis testing, this method discriminates between the LOS and NLOS situations using a sequence of estimated biases. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides good positioning accuracy.

متن کاملTarget Tracking with Line-of-sight Identifi- Cation in Sensor Networks under Unknown Measurement Noises
Tracking a target is a fundamental and crucial problem in wireless sensor networks. It is well known that non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation will significantly degrade the tracking accuracy if its effects are ignored. In this paper, a line-of-sight (LOS) identification approach for range-based tracking systems is developed to discard the NLOS measurements. Based on Lp-norm LOS identification ...
