Hybrid Tdoa/aoa Method for Indoor Positioning Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a hybrid time difference of arrival (TDOA) / angle of arrival (AOA) method for indoor positioning systems. The combined AOA includes both the azimuth AOA (A-AOA) and elevation AOA (E-AOA). Thus, this method makes full use of the AOA information to minimize the errors due to estimation of multipath parameters and gives the position of the estimated mobile terminals by simultaneously resolving a set of linearised location equations. Simulation results show that the hybrid method can improve the positioning accuracy significantly.

A Hybrid TDOA/AOA Positioning Technique for Indoor UWB Systems
A hybrid TDOA/AOA positioning technique for indoor ultra wideband (UWB) systems is presented in this paper. The UWB system is a potential candidate for improving the location accuracy of indoor positioning due to the fine-resolution characteristic of the UWB signals. The hybrid technique consists of extended Kalman filters (EKF’s), which process time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of ar...

Tracking a mobile node using a wireless sensor network under non-line of sight (NLOS) conditions, has been considered in this work, which is of interest to indoor positioning applications. A hybrid of time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements, suitable for tracking asynchronous targets, is exploited. The NLOS biases of the TDOA measurements and the position and v...

متن کاملHybrid TDOA/AOA Geometrical Positioning Schemes for MS Location Estimation
Abstract To achieve more accurate measurements of the MS location, it is possible to integrate many kinds of schemes. In this paper we combine time difference of arrival (TDOA) from three base stations (BSs) and angle of arrival (AOA) information at the serving BS to give location estimation of the MS. Based on the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments and the knowledge of NLOS error statistics...
