A distributed spatio-temporal information based cooperative positioning (STICP) algorithm is proposed for wireless networks that require three-dimensional (3D) coordinates and operate in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) denied…
The accurate and low-cost localization of sensors using a wireless sensor network is critically required in a wide range of today's applications. We propose a novel, robust maximum likelihood-type method for distributed cooperative received…
It has been shown that cooperative localization is capable of improving both the positioning accuracy and coverage in scenarios where the global positioning system (GPS) has a poor performance. However, due to its potentially excessive…
Localization and synchronization are very important in many wireless applications such as monitoring and vehicle tracking. Utilizing the same time of arrival (TOA) measurements for simultaneous localization and synchronization is…
We propose a distributed cooperative positioning algorithm using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) based spatio-temporal data fusion (STDF) for a wireless network composed of sparsely distributed high-mobility nodes. Our algorithm first…
We present a general framework for improving and extending GNSS-based positioning by leveraging opportunistic measurements from legacy terrestrial radio signals. The proposed approach requires only that participating nodes collect and share…
In this paper, a 2-stage robust distributed algorithm is proposed for cooperative sensor network localization using time of arrival (TOA) data without identification of non-line of sight (NLOS) links. In the first stage, to overcome the…
In this paper, we propose an efficient range free localization scheme for large scale three dimensional wireless sensor networks. Our system environment consists of two type of sensors, randomly deployed static sensors and global…
We consider the problem of sensor localization in a wireless network in a multipath environment, where time and angle of arrival information are available at each sensor. We propose a distributed algorithm based on belief propagation, which…
This paper addresses the distributed localization problem for a network of sensors placed in a three-dimensional space, in which sensors are able to perform range measurements, i.e., measure the relative distance between them, and exchange…
In this paper, a novel method for sensor node localization under mixed line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight (LOS/NLOS) conditions based on second order cone programming (SOCP) is presented. SOCP methods have, hitherto, not been utilized in the…
Each node in a wireless multi-hop network can adjust the power level at which it transmits and thus change the topology of the network to save energy by choosing the neighbors with which it directly communicates. Many previous algorithms…
We address the problem of distributed cooperative localization in wireless networks, i.e. nodes without prior position knowledge (agents) wish to determine their own positions. In non-cooperative approaches, positioning is only based on…
This paper presents a terrestrial localization system based on 5G infrastructure as a viable alternative to GNSS, particularly in scenarios where GNSS signals are obstructed or unavailable. It discusses network planning aimed at enabling…
We present a novel differentiable weighted generalized iterative closest point (WGICP) method applicable to general 3D point cloud data, including that from Lidar. Our method builds on differentiable generalized ICP (GICP), and we propose…
This paper proposes two new measures applicable in a spatial bipartite network model: coverage and coverage robustness. The bipartite network must consist of observer nodes, observable nodes, and edges that connect observer nodes to…
With the popularity of Location-based Social Networks, Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation has become an important task, which learns the users' preferences and mobility patterns to recommend POIs. Previous studies show that…
Parametric message passing (MP) is a promising technique that provides reliable marginal probability distributions for distributed cooperative positioning (DCP) based on factor graphs (FG), while maintaining minimal computational…
An unknown-position sensor can be localized if there are three or more anchors making time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements of a signal from it. However, the location errors can be very large due to the fact that some of the measurements are…
Sensing and imaging with distributed radio infrastructures (e.g., distributed MIMO, wireless sensor networks, multistatic radar) rely on knowledge of the positions, orientations, and clock parameters of distributed apertures. We extend a…
