Accurately reconstructing a three-dimensional ocean sound speed field (3D SSF) is essential for various ocean acoustic applications, but the sparsity and uncertainty of sound speed samples across a vast ocean region make it a challenging…
We study a heterogeneous two-tier wireless sensor network in which N heterogeneous access points (APs) collect sensing data from densely distributed sensors and then forward the data to M heterogeneous fusion centers (FCs). This…

Near-field localization is expected to play a crucial role in enabling a plethora of applications under the paradigm of 6G networks. The conventional localization methods rely on complex infrastructure for providing cooperative anchor nodes…
Received signal strength (RSS)-based wireless localization is easy to implement at low cost. In practice,exact positions of anchors may not be available. This paper focuses on determining the location of a source in the presence of…
Navigating toward a known target in a noisy environment is a fundamental problem shared across biological, physical, and engineered systems. Although optimal strategies are often framed in terms of continuous, fine-grained feedback, we show…
While acoustic communications have been considered the prominent technology to communicate under water for several years, other technologies are being developed based, e.g., on optical and radio-frequency electro-magnetic waves. Each…
Indoor location identification and navigation need to be as simple, seamless, and ubiquitous as its outdoor GPS-based counterpart is. It would be of great convenience to the mobile user to be able to continue navigating seamlessly as he or…
In applications such as seismic acquisition, the position information of sensor nodes, that are deployed in a linear topology, is desired with sub-meter accuracy in the presence of a limited number of anchor nodes. This can be achieved with…
Direct localization (DLOC) methods, which use the observed data to localize a source at an unknown position in a one-step procedure, generally outperform their indirect two-step counterparts (e.g., using time-difference of arrivals).…
How to self-localize large teams of underwater nodes using only noisy range measurements? How to do it in a distributed way, and incorporating dynamics into the problem? How to reject outliers and produce trustworthy position estimates? The…
We consider a wireless source localization network in which a target node emits localization signals that are used by anchor nodes to estimate the target node position. In addition to target and anchor nodes, there can also exist…
Accurate estimation of the position of network nodes is essential, e.g., in localization, geographic routing, and vehicular networks. Unfortunately, typical positioning techniques based on ranging or on velocity and angular measurements are…
In this paper, we develop a \textit{distributed} algorithm to localize an arbitrary number of agents moving in a bounded region of interest. We assume that the network contains \textit{at least one} agent with known location (hereinafter…
Region anchors are the cornerstone of modern object detection techniques. State-of-the-art detectors mostly rely on a dense anchoring scheme, where anchors are sampled uniformly over the spatial domain with a predefined set of scales and…
