Calibration of network nodes using only time differences of arrival (TDOA) measurements opens up for interesting applications in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks, e.g. finding the positions of cell phones by only ambient sounds or radio. We present two novel approaches for the problem of self-calibration of network nodes using only TDOA when both receivers and transmitters are unsynchronized. We...

Source Localization in the non-synchronous mobile system is a very important issue since it only requires synchronized clocks between the based stations (BSs) and can reduce system complexity. There are time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) and pseudo-range time-of-arrival (TOA) based localization techniques for a non-synchronous mobile system. Although many methods and performance analysis have be...

WLAN Positioning has been presented by many approaches in literatures using the characteristics of Received Signal Strength (RSS), Time of Arrival (TOA) or Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), Angle of Arrival (AOA) and cell ID. Among these, RSS approach is the simplest method to implement because there is no need of modification on both access points and client devices whereas its accuracy is te...

Node localization plays an important role in many practical applications of wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs), such as finding the locations of earthquake epicenters, underground explosions, and microseismic events in mines. It is more difficult to obtain the time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements in WUSNs than in terrestrial wireless sensor networks because of the unfavorabl...

The theoretical and practical performance limits of a 2D ultra-wideband impulse-radio localization system operating in the far field are studied under the assumption that estimates of location are based on time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements. Performance is evaluated in the presence of errors in both the TDOA measurements and the sensor locations. The performance of both optimal (max...

We consider the problem of estimating the time differences of arrival (TDOAs) of multiple sources from a two-channel reverberant audio signal. While several clustering-based or angular spectrum-based methods have been proposed in the literature, only relatively small-scale experimental evaluations restricted to either category of methods have been carried out so far. We design and conduct the f...

The rapid development of wireless broadband communication technology has affected the location accuracy of worldwide radio monitoring stations that employ time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) location technology. In this study, TDOA-based location technology was implemented in Taiwan for the first time according to International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunication (ITU-R) recommendations r...

This article considers locating a noncooperative underwater transmitter utilizing multiple receivers, such that each receiver can measure the frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) as well time (TDOA) transmitter’s sound. case where unknown emission changes goes. addresses hybrid TDOA-FDOA localization, under assumption maximum speed is known in advance. To best our knowledge, this unique tackl...

Sound signals have been widely applied in various fields. One of the popular applications is sound localization, where location and direction a source are determined by analyzing signal. In this study, two microphone linear arrays were used to locate an indoor environment. The TDOA also designed deal with problem delay reception from using generalized cross-correlation algorithm calculate TDOA....

Recent advancement in wireless networks and systems has seen the rise of localization techniques as a worthwhile and cost-effective basis for novel services. These location based services (LBSs) have been more and more beneficial and money-making for telecommunications operators and companies. Various LBSs can be offered to the user such as tracking, advertisement, security, and management. Wir...
