چکیده

In this paper, we present measurement results of the experimental validation of the UWB localization platform under Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) conditions. The platform is based on the Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) technique and the energy detection receiver. TDoA based localization systems require minimum four anchors to provide 3D position data. In order to deal with NLOS scenario our platform uses eight receiving anchors. Additionally, we have developed positioning algorithms customized to improve the robustness and accuracy of the system.

This paper deals with the problem of radio localization of moving terminals (MTs) for indoor applications with mixed line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight (LOS/NLOS) conditions. To reduce false localizations, a grid-based Bayesian approach is proposed to jointly track the sequence of the positions and the sight conditions of the MT. This method is based on the assumption that both the MT position and...

Toward Standard Non-line-of-sight Benchmarking of Ultra-wideband Radio-based Localization

Performance of Ultra-wideband (UWB) radios in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environments has been a topic of interest among researchers, especially when it comes to indoor localization applications. It is known that NLoS propagation of electromagnetic waves can severely affect the localization accuracy. Despite the interest in indoor localization performance, it is still difficult to compare results...

Accurate and Robust Indoor Localization Systems using Ultra-wideband Signals

Indoor localization systems that are accurate and robust with respect to propagation channel conditions are still a technical challenge today. In particular, for systems based on range measurements from radio signals, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) situations can result in large position errors. In this paper, we address these issues using measurements in a representative indoor environment. Results ...
