This paper revisits the problem of locating a signal-emitting source from time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements under non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation. Many currently fashionable methods for NLOS mitigation in TDOA-based localization tend to solve their optimization problems by means of convex relaxation and, thus, are computationally inefficient. Besides, previous studies show that manipulating directly on the TDOA metric usually gives rise to intricate estimators. Aiming at bypassing these challenges, we turn to retrieve the underlying time-of-arrival framework by treating the unknown source onset time as an optimization variable and imposing certain inequality constraints on it, mitigate the NLOS errors through the $ell_1$-norm robustification, and finally apply a hardware realizable neurodynamic model based on the redefined augmented Lagrangian and projection theorem to solve the resultant nonconvex optimization problem with inequality constraints. It is validated through extensive simulations that the proposed scheme can strike a nice balance between localization accuracy, computational complexity, and prior knowledge requirement.

This paper considers the problem of time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) source localization using possibly unreliable data collected by the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in the error-prone environments. The Welsch loss function is integrated into a hardware realizable projection-type neural network (PNN) model, in order to enhance the robustness of location estimator to the erroneous measurements. For statistical efficiency, the formulation here is derived upon the underlying time-of-arrival composition via joint estimation of the source position and onset time, instead of the TDOA counterpart generated in the postprocessing of sensor-collected timestamps. The local stability conditions and implementation complexity of the proposed PNN model are also analyzed in detail. Simulation investigations demonstrate that our neurodynamic TDOA localization solution is capable of outperforming several existing schemes in terms of localization accuracy and computational efficiency.
This paper proposes two efficient and easy-to-use error mitigation solutions to the problem of three-dimensional (3-D) angle-of-arrival (AOA) source localization in the mixed line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) indoor environments. A wei ghted linear least squares estimator is derived first for the LOS AOA components in terms of the direction vectors of arrival, albeit in a sub-optimal manner. Next, data selection exploiting the sum of squared residuals is carried out to discard the error-prone NLOS connections. In so doing, the first approach is constituted and more accurate closed-form location estimates can be obtained. The second method applies a simulated annealing stochastic framework to realize the robust $ell_1$-minimization criterion, which therefore falls into the methodology of statistical robustification. Computer simulations and ultrasonic onsite experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the two proposed methods, demonstrating their outstanding positioning results in the respective scenarios.
When the direct view between the target and the observer is not available, due to obstacles with non-zero sizes, the observation is received after reflection from a reflector, this is the indirect view or Non-Line-Of Sight condition. Localization of a target in NLOS condition still one of the open problems yet. In this paper, we address this problem by localizing the reflector and the target simultaneously using a single stationary receiver, and a determined number of beacons, in which their placements are also analyzed in an unknown map. The work is done in mirror space, when the receiver is a camera, and the reflector is a planar mirror. Furthermore, the distance from the observer to the target is estimated by size constancy concept, and the angle of coming signal is the same as the orientation of the camera, with respect to a global frame. The results show the validation of the proposed work and the simulation results are matched with the theoretical results.
Partially-overlapping tones (POT) are known to help mitigate co-channel interference in uncoordinated multi-carrier networks by introducing intentional frequency offsets (FOs) to the transmitted signals. In this paper, we explore the use of (POT) wit h reinforcement learning (RL) in dense networks where multiple links access time-frequency resources simultaneously. We propose a novel framework based on Q-learning, to obtain the (FO) for the multi-carrier waveform used for each link. In particular, we consider filtered multi-tone (FMT) systems that utilize Gaussian, root-raised-cosine (RRC), and isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) based prototype filters. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme enhances the capacity of the links by at least 30% in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and even more so in the presence of severe multi-path fading. For a wide range of interfering link densities, we demonstrate substantial improvements in the outage probability and multi-user efficiency facilitated by (POT), with the Gaussian filter outperforming the other two filters.
