چکیده
The waveform influences on the performance of positioning system based on IR-UWB, but the performance of positioning system under the condition of different waveforms has not studied enough. In this paper, the positioning performance of a hybrid TOA/AOA scheme is evaluated with various waveforms over various IEEE 802. 15. 4a channel models (CMs). Simulation results show that the MHP pulse outperforms other waveforms in CM3 and CM5, and the RRCP outperforms other considered waveforms in CM1 and CM7.

In cooperative localization systems, wireless nodes need to exchange accurate position-related information, such as time-of-arrival (TOA) and angle-of-arrival (AOA), in order to obtain accurate location information. One alternative for providing accurate position-related information is to use ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. High time resolution of UWB signals presents a potential for very accurat...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor positioning systems based on time of arrival (ToA) techniques are considered to be the high precision alternatives to those employing received signal strength (RSS) or angle of arrival (AoA) due to their superior time-domain resolution. However, the performance of such systems may easily be degraded by the blockage of the direct path (DP) and occurrence of undetected...

A new distributed algorithm is described in this paper for localizing sensor network nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The algorithm shares a common three-phase structure: (1) determine node-beacon distances, (2) build a cost function for every sensor node, and (3) compute the coordinate of the node. The coordinates of the sensor nodes are computed using either the Davidson-Fletcher-Powe...
