A Constrained Least Squares Approach to Mobile Positioning: Algorithms and Optimality
The problem of locating a mobile terminal has received significant attention in the field of wireless communications. Time-ofarrival (TOA), received signal strength (RSS), time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA), and angle-of-arrival (AOA) are commonly used measurements for estimating the position of the mobile station. In this paper, we present a constrained weighted least squares (CWLS) mobile posi...

متن کاملExperimental Performance Comparison of Indoor Positioning Algorithms based on Received Signal Strength
The work presented here compares the performance of indoor positioning systems suitable for low power wireless sensor networks. Map matching, approximate positioning (weighted centroid) and exact positioning algorithms (least squares) were tested and compared in a small predefined indoor environment. We found that, for our test scenario, weighted centroid algorithms provided the best results. L...
متن کاملWeighted Least Squares Techniques for Improved Received Signal Strength Based Localization
The practical deployment of wireless positioning systems requires minimizing the calibration procedures while improving the location estimation accuracy. Received Signal Strength localization techniques using propagation channel models are the simplest alternative, but they are usually designed under the assumption that the radio propagation model is to be perfectly characterized a priori. In p...
