Description
Summary:A novel time-of-arrival–based localization algorithm in mixed line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight environments is proposed. First, an optimization problem of target localization in the known distribution of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight is established, and mixed semi-definite and second-order cone programming techniques are used to transform the original problem into a convex optimization problem which can be solved efficiently. Second, a worst-case robust least squares criterion is used to form an optimization problem of target localization in unknown distribution of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight, where all links are treated as non-line-of-sight links. This problem is also solved using the similar techniques used in the known distribution of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight case. Finally, computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithms have better performance in both the known distribution and the unknown distribution of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight environments.
