Range-based Source Localization with a Pure Reflector in the Presence of Multipath Propagation
نویسنده
چکیده
Source localization can be achieved by employing the time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements between the source and several spatially separated sensors. In this Letter, we develop a simple and accurate algorithm for TOA-based positioning in the presence of multipath propagation. With the use of a pure reflector, the multipath TOA information can be effectively utilized. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method approaches Cramér-Rao lower bound when the measurement errors are sufficiently small.

متن کاملMultipath Node-Disjoint Routing with Backup List Based on the AODV Protocol
In recent years, routing has been the most focused area in ad hoc networks research. On-demand routing in particular, is widely developed in bandwidth constrained mobile wireless ad hoc networks because of its effectiveness and efficiency. Most proposed on-demand routing protocols are built and relied on single route for each data session. Whenever there is a link disconnection on the active ro...
متن کاملSound Source Localization in a Multipath Environment Using Convolutional Neural Networks
The propagation of sound in a shallow water environment is characterized by boundary reflections from the sea surface and sea floor. These reflections result in multiple (indirect) sound propagation paths, which can degrade the performance of passive sound source localization methods. This paper proposes the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the localization of sources of broadban...
متن کاملSource Localization in a Highly Variable Shallow Water Environment: Results from Ascot-01
Variability in the ocean environment can have a big impact on acoustic propagation. Acoustic receptions often contain multipath contributions with fluctuations that vary significantly from the direct path to the higher order multipath. Matched-field methods take advantage of the multipath to extract information about the source location and seabed properties. Matched-field processing is general...
متن کاملAnalysis of an Adaptive Algorithm for Unbiased Multipath Time Delay Estimation
Time delay estimation between signals received at two spatially separated sensors has many important applications such as transmitter linearization [1], synchronization in communication systems [2], speech enhancement, determination of the centre of earthquakes, and source localization in sonar and radio systems [3, 4]. The presence of unknown multipath propagation, which is often encountered i...
