Optimal Sensor Arrangements in Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Range Based Localization with Linear Sensor Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the linear separation requirements for Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) and range sensors, in order to achieve the optimal performance in estimating the position of a target from multiple and typically noisy sensor measurements. We analyse the sensor-target geometry in terms of the Cramer-Rao inequality and the corresponding Fisher information matrix, in order to characterize localization performance with respect to the linear spatial distribution of sensors. Here in this paper, we consider both fixed and adjustable linear sensor arrays.

Non Linear Optimization Applied to Angle-of-arrival Satellite Based Geo-localization for Biased and Time-drifting Sensors
Multiple sensors are used in a variety of geolocation systems. Many use Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) or Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements to estimate the most likely location of a signal. When an object does not emit an RF signal, Angle of Arrival (AOA) measurements using optical or infrared frequencies become more feasible than TDOA or RSS measurements. AOA measurements can be c...
متن کاملAngle-of-arrival localization based on antenna arrays for wireless sensor networks
Among the large number of contributions concerning the localization techniques for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), there is still no simple, energy and cost efficient solution suitable in outdoor scenarios. In this paper, a technique based on antenna arrays and angle-ofarrival (AoA) measurements is carefully discussed. While the AoA algorithms are rarely considered for WSNs due to the large di...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional angle-of-arrival estimation for uniform planar arrays with sensor position errors - Radar and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings F
The one-dimensional bearing estimation problem of linearly periodic arrays with sensor position errors has been tackled by the Toeplitz approximation method (TAM), iterative TAM, modified TAM, and iterative MTAM without calibrating the sensor positions. This paper extends these methods to the twodimensional situation using a uniform planar array with sensor position errors to estimate the 2-D a...
متن کاملAlgorithm for Nodes Localization in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks Based on Cost Function
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...
