Abstract In target node localization problem, conventional methods based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI) assume a prior knowledge of a channel model and values of its parameters specific for an environment. This limits the conventional localization system to be set up quickly and effectively due to a necessary pre-measurement step to determine both the channel model and the values of its parameters. To address the limitation, a twostage iterative algorithm which allows to localize a target node without any prior knowledge of the parameter values has been propose. Each stage of the algorithm can be implemented using different estimation methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and least square (LS) estimation which provides four different combinations. To determine the best combination, the location estimation performance for all four combinations is evaluated using experimental data collected in measurement campaigns on various indoor locations. The results reveal that the combination of ML estimation method implemented in both stages provides the best location estimation accuracy and the fastest convergence rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
