A Novel Wireless Location Algorithm Based on High Probability Measurements

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel location algorithm for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless communication based on Time Of Arrival (TOA) measurements. The traditional algorithm and mean value algorithm are compared with the proposed high probability algorithm in a three-dimensional (3D) indoor environment. The IEEE802.15.4a channel model is considered with Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) propagation conditions, models CM1 and CM2, respectively. Performance results are presented which verify that the proposed algorithm can provide improved accuracy and robustness compared to other algorithms, particularly in poor channel environments.
