Lightweight Node Selection in Hexagonal Grid Topology for TDoA-Based UAV Localization

Signal Processing 2025-06-18 v1

Abstract

This paper investigates the optimization problem for TDoA-based UAV localization in low-altitude urban environments with hexagonal grid node deployment. We derive a lightweight optimized node selection strategy based on only RSSI measurements, to pre-select optimal nodes, avoiding extensive TDoA measurements in energy-constrained UAV scenarios. Theoretical and simulation results demonstrate that dynamically selecting the number of reference nodes improves localization performance while minimizing resource overhead.
