This paper considers location methods that are applicable in global positioning systems (GPS), wireless sensor networks (WSN), and cellular communication systems. The approach is to employ the resilient backpropagation (Rprop), an artificial neural network learning algorithm, to compute weighted geometric dilution of precision (WGDOP), which represents the geometric effect on the relationship between measurement error and positioning error. The original four kinds of input-output mapping based on BPNN for GDOP calculation are extended to WGDOP based on Rprop. In addition, we propose two novel Rprop–based architectures to approximate WGDOP. To further reduce the complexity of our approach, the first is to select the serving BS and then combines it with three other measurements to estimate MS location. As such, the number of subsets is reduced greatly without compromising the location estimation accuracy. We further employed another Rprop that takes the higher precision MS locations of the first several minimum WGDOPs as the inputs into consideration to determine the final MS location estimation. This method can not only eliminate the poor geometry effects but also significantly improve the location accuracy.

AbstractThe increase in utilisation of mobile location-based services for commercial, safety and security purposes among others are the key drivers for improving location estimation accuracy to better serve those purposes. This paper proposes the application of Levenberg Marquardt training algorithm on new robust multilayered perceptron neural network architecture for mobile positioning fitting for the urban area in the considered GSM network using received signal strength (RSS). The key performance metrics such as accuracy, cost, reliability and coverage are the major points considered in this paper. The technique was evaluated using real data from field measurement and the results obtained proved the proposed model provides a practical positioning that meet Federal Communication Commission (FCC) accuracy requirement.

Geometric Dilution Of Precision

To achieve high accuracy in wireless positioning systems, both accurate measurements and good geometric relationship between the mobile device and the measurement units are required. Geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) is widely used as a criterion for selecting measurement units, since it represents the geometric effect on the relationship between measurement error and positioning determination error. In the calculation of GDOP value, the maximum volume method does not necessarily guarantee the selection of the optimal four measurement units with minimum GDOP. The conventional matrix inversion method for GDOP calculation demands a large amount of operation and causes high power consumption. To select the subset of the most appropriate location measurement units which give the minimum positioning error, we need to consider not only the GDOP effect but also the error statistics property. In this paper, we employ the weighted GDOP (WGDOP), instead of GDOP, to select measurement units so as to improve the accuracy of location. The handheld global positioning system (GPS) devices and mobile phones with GPS chips can merely provide limited calculation ability and power capacity. Therefore, it is very imperative to obtain WGDOP accurately and efficiently. This paper proposed two formations of WGDOP with less computation when four measurements are available for location purposes. The proposed formulae can reduce the computational complexity required for computing the matrix inversion. The simpler WGDOP formulae for both the 2D and the 3D location estimation, without inverting a matrix, can be applied not only to GPS but also to wireless sensor networks (WSN) and cellular communication systems. Furthermore, the proposed formulae are able to provide precise solution of WGDOP calculation without incurring any approximation error.

Abstract Cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) is a useful neural network learning technique. It was developed two decades ago but yet lacks an adequate learning algorithm, especially when it is used in a hybrid- type controller. This work is intended to introduce a simulation study for examining the performance of a hybrid-type control system based on the conventional learning algorithm of CMAC neural network. This study showed that the control system is unstable. Then a new adaptive learning algorithm of a CMAC based hybrid- type controller is proposed. The main features of the proposed learning algorithm, as well as the effects of the newly introduced parameters of this algorithm have been studied extensively via simulation case studies. The simulation results showed that the proposed learning algorithm is a robust in stabilizing the control system. Also, this proposed learning algorithm preserved all the known advantages of the CMAC neural network. Part II of this work is dedicated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed CMAC learning algorithm experimentally.

Abstract Real-time location information is essential in the hazardous process and construction areas for safety and emergency management, security, search and rescue, and even productivity tracking. It's also crucial during pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic for contact tracing to isolate those who came to the proximity of infected individuals. While global positioning systems (GPS), can address the demand for location awareness in outdoor environments, another accurate location estimation technology for indoor environments where GPS doesn't perform well is required. This paper presents the development and deployment of an end-to-end cost-effective real-time personnel location system suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous and safe areas. It leverages on facility wireless communication systems, wearable technologies such as smart helmets and wearable tags, and machine learning. Personnel carries the client device which collects location-related information and sends it to the localization algorithm in the cloud. When the personnel moves, the tracking dashboard shows client location in real-time. The proposed localization algorithm relies on wireless signal fingerprinting and machine learning algorithms to estimate the location. The machine learning algorithm is a mix of clustering and classification that was designed to scale well with bigger target areas and is suitable for cloud deployment. The system was tested in both office and industrial process environments using consumer-grade handphones and intrinsically safe wearable devices. It achieved an average distance error of less than 2 meters in 3D space.
