When there is non-line-of-sight (NLOS) path between the mobile station (MS) and base stations (BSs), it is possible to integrate many kinds of measurements to achieve more accurate measurements of the MS location. This paper proposed hybrid methods that utilize time of arrival (TOA) at five BSs and angle of arrival (AOA) information at the serving BS to determine the MS location in NLOS environments. The methods mitigate the NLOS effect simply by the weighted sum of the intersections between five TOA circles and the AOA line without requiring priori knowledge of NLOS error statistics. Simulation results show that the proposed methods always give superior performance than Taylor series algorithm (TSA) and the hybrid lines of position algorithm (HLOP).

Trong bài báo này, giải pháp hiệu quả cải thiện độ chính xác của định vị trong nhà, dựa trên góc tới AOA( Angle Of Arrival) kết hợp với bộ lọc Kalman đã được đề xuất. Giải pháp này có thể cải thiện độ chính xác cho bài toán định vị nguồn phát trong môi trường trong nhà so với phương pháp AOA truyền thống. Hai kịch bản được tạo ra để kiểm tra hiệu suất của giải pháp đề xuất. Kịch bản thứ nhất môi trường truyền dẫn tồn tại đường LOS ( Line Of Sight) và NLOS, kịch bản thứ hai môi trường truyền dẫn chỉ tồn tại các đường NLOS(Non - Line Of Sight) do các đường LOS bị suy giảm. Kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy, giải pháp đề xuất đạt được độ chính xác cao hơn so với phương pháp AOA truyền thống. Đặc biệt, khi sai số định vị dưới 2m và môi trường chỉ có NLOS, thuật toán đề xuất đạt độ chính xác cao hơn 20% so với thuật toán AOA truyền thống.

In this paper, a localization scenario that the home base station (BS) measures time of arrival (TOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) while the neighboring BSs only measure TOA is investigated. In order to reduce the effect of non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation, the probability weighting localization algorithm based on NLOS identification is proposed. The proposed algorithm divides these range and angle measurements into different combinations. For each combination, a statistic whose distribution is chi-square in LOS propagation is constructed, and the corresponding theoretic threshold is derived to identify each combination whether it is LOS or NLOS propagation. Further, if those combinations are decided as LOS propagation, the corresponding probabilities are derived to weigh the accepted combinations. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can provide better performance than conventional algorithms in different NLOS environments. In addition, computational complexity of our proposed algorithm is analyzed and compared.

This paper shows that the accuracy of azimuth angle measurement for an interferometric localization system used to locate tags in its Line-of-Sight (LoS) can be improved by exploiting Impulse Radio-Ultra WideBand (IR-UWB) signals and without increasing the frequency bandwidth. This solution uses a Phase Correlation (PC) method, initially applied for Continuous Wave (CW) signals, adapted for Ultra WideBand (UWB) pulse signals. The obtained results are compared to those computed by a classical Energy Detection (ED) method where it becomes impossible to estimate azimuth angles for tag positions close to the orthogonal centered axis of the localization system baseline.

In complex indoor propagation environment, the non-line-of-sight error caused by various obstacles brings great error to node positioning. Choosing the appropriate signal transmission methods is important to improve node indoor positioning accuracy. In this research, ultra-wideband technology, as baseband with high theoretical positioning accuracy and real-time performance, is implemented to transmit indoor signals. The proposed fusion algorithm with ultra-wideband baseband takes advantages from both time difference of arrival and angle of arrival algorithms, combined through the steepest descent algorithm. The non-line-of-sight signal estimation error is iteratively eliminated to achieve effective positioning accuracy. The experimental results indicate that the novel time difference of arrival/angle of arrival fusion algorithm with steepest descent algorithm can largely improve node positioning accuracy and stability.

This work proposes a novel approach for tracking a moving target in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments based on range estimates extracted from received signal strength (RSS) and time of arrival (TOA) measurements. By exploiting the known architecture of reference points to act as an improper antenna array and the range estimates, angle of arrival (AOA) of the signal emitted by the target is first estimated at each reference point. We then show how to take advantage of these angle estimates to convert the problem into a more convenient, polar space, where a linearization of the measurement models is easily achieved. The derived linear model serves as the main building block on top of which prior knowledge acquired during the movement of the target is incorporated by adapting a Kalman filter (KF). The performance of the proposed approach was assessed through computer simulations, which confirmed its effectiveness in combating the negative effect of NLOS bias and superiority in comparison with its naive counterpart, which does not take prior knowledge into consideration.

This work is devoted to the study of mathematical models of vehicle positioning in ultra-dense V2X / 5G radio access networks using the extended Kalman filter. Based on the study of the probability of line-of-sight availability in the conditions of ultra-dense distribution of reference radio access stations and vehicles, as well as existing mathematical prototype positioning models, a new simulation model for constructing the trajectory of a vehicle has been developed to assess compliance with the requirements for the accuracy of coordinate assessment on the example of the scenario of priority passage of intersections. The simulation model implements the procedures for collecting primary angle and rangefinder measurements by reference stations received from the vehicle for subsequent secondary processing using the extended Kalman filter, as a result of which the vehicle trajectory is built in real time. In contrast to the existing prototype models, the simulation model developed in this work makes it possible to assess compliance with the specified requirements and other specifications depending on the current conditions of line-of-sight availability, as well as the accuracy of collecting primary angle measurements determined by the antenna array installed on the support device. The results of simulation are consistent with the known estimates of prototype models and confirm the possibility of achieving an accuracy of up to 1 m for a traffic control scenario with an error in determining the angle of arrival of a signal of 2 °.
