To address the difficulty in calculating nonlinear equation of time difference arrival (TDOA) positioning, as well problem measurement error hybrid arrival/angle (TDOA/AOA) positioning algorithm, an improved sparrow search algorithm is proposed to optimize and optimization mechanism retained on basis improving performance original algorithm. The maximum likelihood estimation method used calcula...

Inside tunnels, the possibility of over-reach of radiated power from the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) service zone to the out-of-service zone is high, since the waves are confined in the tunnel space. To inspect this more carefully, wideband directional channel measurements were conducted inside an arched transportation tunnel, and the gain, angle-of-arrival and delay of each pro...

This paper presents a novel peer-to-peer or mobileto-mobile localization scheme for general indoor and outdoor environments. In this scheme, two mobile nodes at arbitrary locations are able to locate each other without the need of Line-of-Sight (LOS) path between the two mobile device, and without the need for any reference devices such as GPS or land base beacons. Existing peerto-peer localiza...

Real-time Locating Systems (RTLSs) have the ability to precisely locate the position of things and people in real time. They are needed for security and emergency applications, but also for healthcare and home care appliances. The research aims for developing an analytical method to customize RTLSs, in order to improve localization performance in terms of precision. The proposed method is based...

This paper presents PinPoint, a technique for localizing rogue interfering radios that adhere to standard protocols in the inhospitable ISM band without any cooperation from the interfering radio. PinPoint is designed to be incrementally deployed on top of existing 802.11 WLAN infrastructure, and used by network administrators to identify and troubleshoot sources of interference which may be di...

This paper investigates a two-dimensional angle of arrival (2D AOA) estimation algorithm for the electromagnetic vector sensor (EMVS) array based on Type-2 block component decomposition (BCD) tensor modeling. Such a tensor decomposition method can take full advantage of the multidimensional structural information of electromagnetic signals to accomplish blind estimation for array parameters wit...

Most of the localization algorithms have performed localization utilizing absolute point-topoint distance estimates. If the sensor network is not cooperative, there’s no information about the strength of the original signal so that the location of a target node is hard to be found. It allows ratiometric location algorithm to be proposed. GPS algorithm give accurate location of unknown node, how...

Using existing wireless communication networks as a localization infrastructure promises enormous cost and deployment savings over specific localization infrastructures. In this work we investigate a Bayesian network approach that uses a combination of radio signal strength (RSS) to distance estimation along with angle-of-arrival (AoA) information. We characterize the resulting localization acc...
