Non-line-of-sight error mitigation in TDOA mobile location

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation identification and correction for time difference of arrival (TDOA) based mobile user location in wireless communication systems. Based on the defined TDOA residual, an NLOS base station identification algorithm is proposed. Different choices of the reference location for the residual calculation are compared via simulation. To correct the NLOS error with a certain distribution, we propose a maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for TDOA location systems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed NLOS recovering algorithm performs better than that using only LOS measurements, especially when the number of available base stations is small and/or the LOS base stations have an undesirable

Wireless Emitter Location Estimation Based on Linear and Nonlinear Algorithms using TDOA Technique
Low-power devices such as cell phones, and wireless routers are commonly used to control Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and as the communication nodes for the sake of command and control. Quickly locating the source of these signals is ambitious, specifically in a metropolitan environment where buildings and towers may cause intervention. This presents a geolocation system that compounds t...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملAn Efficient NLOS Error Mitigation Method for Wireless Location
Wireless location has received considerable attention over the past few years. Many techniques, such as time-based methods (TOA and TDOA), AOA based methods, and Assisted-GPS, have been proposed. Time-based methods such as TOA and TDOA, are particularly exciting since they are sufficiently accurate for E911 under ideal conditions. However, several error sources, such as NLOS (Non-Line-Of-Sight)...

Determination of mobile localization with time of arrival (TOA) signal is a requirement in cellular mobile communication. In some of the previous methods, localization with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths can lead to large position error. Also for simplicity, in most simulations suppose non stationary actual environments as stationary. This paper proposes (residual test + recursive least square)...
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...
