Localization in long-range Internet of Things networks is a challenging task, mainly due to the long distances and low bandwidth used. Moreover, the cost, power, and size limitations restrict the integration of a GPS receiver in each…
Understanding the location of ultra-wideband (UWB) tag-attached objects and people in the real world is vital to enabling a smooth cyber-physical transition. However, most UWB localization systems today require multiple anchors in the…
In this paper, we investigate ultra-wideband (UWB) localization and tracking in cluttered environments. Instead of mitigating the multipath, we exploit the specular reflections to enhance the localizability and improve the positioning…
The accuracy of traditional localization methods significantly degrades when the direct path between the wireless transmitter and the target is blocked or non-penetrable. This paper proposes N2LoS, a novel approach for precise…
Software-Defined Metamaterials (SDMs) show a strong potential for advancing the engineered control of electromagnetic waves. As such, they are envisioned to enable a variety of exciting applications, among others in the domains of smart…
Indoor localization in challenging non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments often leads to poor accuracy with traditional approaches. Deep learning (DL) has been applied to tackle these challenges; however, many DL approaches overlook…
Ultra-wideband (UWB) time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based localization has recently emerged as a promising indoor positioning solution. However, in cluttered environments, both the UWB radio positions and the obstacle-induced…

Ambient backscatter communication system is an emerging and promising low-energy technology for Internet of Things. In such system, a device named tag, sends a binary message to a reader by backscattering a radio frequency signal generated…
Design of ultra-wideband antennas for in-door localization applications is a challenging task that involves development of geometry that ensures appropriate balance between the size and performance. In this work, a topologically-flexible…
For future large scale robotic moon missions, the availability of infrastructure-less, cheap and low power real-time locating systems (RTLSs) is critical. Traditional RTLS face significant trade-offs between power consumption and…
Sensor nodes are low cost, low power devices that are used to collect physical data and monitor environmental conditions from remote locations. Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) are collection of sensor nodes, coordinating among themselves to…
Backscatter communication has attracted significant attention for Internet-of-Things applications due to its ultra-low-power consumption. The state-of-the-art backscatter systems no longer require dedicated carrier generators and leverage…
Localisation can be defined as estimating or finding a position of the node. There are two techniques in localisation, which are range-based and range-free techniques. This paper focusses on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)…
In this work, we consider a backscatter communication system wherein multiple asynchronous sources (tags) exploit the reverberation generated by a nearby radar transmitter as an ambient carrier to deliver a message to a common destination…
Scatter radio, i.e., communication by means of reflection, has been recently proposed as a viable ultra-low power solution for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This work offers a detailed comparison between monostatic and multistatic…
In this paper, we propose a range-based localization algorithm to localize a wireless sensor network (WSN) in 2D. A widely used algorithm to localize a WSN in 2D is trilateration, which runs in polynomial time. Trilateration uses three…
