In this paper, we exploit the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) to robustify the traditional time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) location estimator in the presence of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation conditions. For the sake of…

Time-of-arrival (TOA)-based localization in mixed line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments is challenging because conventional Euclidean range models do not capture diffraction-dominated propagation. We show that the…

In this work, a system scheme is proposed for tracking a radio emitting target moving in two-dimensional space. The localization is based on the use of biased time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements obtained at two asynchronous receivers, each…

Localizing moving targets in unknown harsh environments has always been a severe challenge. This letter investigates a novel localization system based on multi-agent networks, where multiple agents serve as mobile anchors broadcasting their…

This paper studies the positioning problem based on two-way time-of-arrival (TW-TOA) measurements in asynchronous wireless sensor networks. Since the optimal estimator for this problem involves difficult nonconvex optimization, we propose…

A robust and accurate positioning solution is required to increase the safety in GPS-denied environments. Although there is a lot of available research in this area, little has been done for confined environments such as tunnels. Therefore,…

This article considers the problem of source localization (SL) using possibly unreliable time-of-arrival (TOA) based range measurements. Adopting the strategy of statistical robustification, we formulate TOA SL as minimization of a…

The maximum likelihood (ML) estimator can be applied to localize a target mobile device using the RSS and TOA. However, the ML estimator for the RSS-TOA-based target localization problem is nonconvex and nonlinear, having no analytical…

This paper considers N mobile nodes that move together in the vicinity of each other, whose initial poses as well as subsequent movements must be accurately tracked in real time with the assist of M(>=3) reference nodes. By engaging the…

In this paper some new experimental results about the statistical characterization of the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) bias affecting time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation in ultrawideband (UWB) wireless localization systems are illustrated. Then,…

This paper investigates the hybrid source localization problem using the four radio measurements - time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA), received signal strength (RSS), and angle of arrival (AOA). First, after invoking…

Emerging wireless applications are requiring ever more accurate location-positioning from sensor measurements. In this paper, we develop sensor selection strategies for 3D wireless positioning based on time of arrival (TOA) and received…

This paper revisits the problem of locating a signal-emitting source from time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements under non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation. Many currently fashionable methods for NLOS mitigation in TDOA-based…

Accurate node localization is vital for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Current methods like Time of Arrival (TOA) can estimate node positions using imprecise baseplates and achieve the Cram\'er-Rao lower bound (CRLB) accuracy. In…

In two-way time-of-arrival (TOA) systems, a user device (UD) obtains its position by round-trip communications to a number of anchor nodes (ANs) at known locations. The objective function of the maximum likelihood (ML) method for two-way…

We study the problem of signal source localization using angle of arrival (AOA) measurements. We begin by presenting verifiable geometric conditions for sensor deployment that ensure the model's asymptotic localizability. Then we establish…

We investigate localization of a source based on angle of arrival (AoA) measurements made at a geographically dispersed network of cooperating receivers. The goal is to efficiently compute accurate estimates despite outliers in the AoA…

In this paper, we consider a time-varying optimization approach to the problem of tracking a moving target using noisy time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements. Specifically, we formulate the problem as that of sequential TOA-based source…

Recent studies have demonstrated that correntropy is an efficient tool for analyzing higher-order statistical moments in nonGaussian noise environments. Although correntropy has been used with complex data, no theoretical study was pursued…
