Wireless Localization In The Absence Of Gps, Hyundeok Kang

LSU Master's Theses

In this thesis, wireless localization is investigated based on multiple noisy estimates of the time-difference of arrival (TDOA) at each pair of the n >= 4 sensors with different but known locations using WiFi opportunistic signals. Our work is comprehensive and includes channel estimation, symbol detection, TDOA estimation, and location estimation. To mitigate the multipath issue induced by wideband signals, such as WiFi, frequency-division is employed to decompose the wideband RF signal into multiple non-overlapping narrowband signals. To minimize the adverse effects of the clock drift, time-division is proposed to divide the signal into multiple non-overlapping signals in the time …
