Multi-target localization algorithm based on adaptive grid in wireless sensor network by Tianjing WANG, Xiuqin LI, Guangwei BAI, Hang SHEN

“…The RSS-based multi-target localization has the natural property of the sparsity in wireless sensor networks.A multi-target localization algorithm based on adaptive grid in wireless sensor networks was proposed,which divided the multi-target localization problem into two phases:large-scale grid-based localization and adaptive grid-based localization.In the large-scale grid-based localization phase,the optimal number of measurements was determined due to the sequential compressed sensing theory,and then the locations of the initial candidate grids were reconstructed by applying l<sub>p</sub> (0＆lt; p＆lt;1) optimization.In the adaptive grid-based localization phase,the initial candidate grids were adaptively partitioned according to the compressed sensing theory,and then the locations of the targets were precisely estimated by applying l<sub>p</sub>optimization once again.Compared with the traditional multi-target localization algorithm based on compressed sensing,the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has higher localization accuracy and lower localization delay without foreknowing the number of targets.Therefore,it is more appropriate for the multi-target localization problem in the large-scale wireless sensor networks.…”
