Underwater acoustic localization is a useful technique applied to any military and civilian applications. Among the range-based underwater acoustic localization methods, the time difference of arrival (TDOA) has received much attention because it is easy to implement and relatively less affected by the underwater environment. This paper proposes a TDOA-based localization algorithm for an underwater acoustic sensor network using the maximum-likelihood (ML) ratio criterion. To relax the complexity of the proposed localization complexity, we construct an auxiliary function, and use the majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm to solve it. The proposed localization algorithm proposed in this paper is called a T-MM algorithm. T-MM is applying the MM algorithm to the TDOA acoustic-localization technique. As the MM algorithm iterations are sensitive to the initial points, a gradient-based initial point algorithm is used to set the initial points of the T-MM scheme. The proposed T-MM localization scheme is evaluated based on squared position error bound (SPEB), and through calculation, we get the SPEB expression by the equivalent Fisher information matrix (EFIM). The simulation results show how the proposed T-MM algorithm has better performance and outperforms the state-of-the-art localization algorithms in terms of accuracy and computation complexity even under a high presence of underwater noise.

This paper presents a method of underwater acoustic localization in reverberant environments. Time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurement algorithm is a key technology for estimating direction of arrival (DOA) of an underwater sound source. In strong multipath interference, the pseudo-peaks in a correlation function disturb the detection of a correct time position and lead to a large TDOA measurement error. The proposed algorithm computes a time difference by taking cross-correlation of two impulse responses and improves robustness to multipath interference. The comparison of TDOA algorithms is done by evaluating the position accuracy of underwater sound source in both simulation and experiment.
