Abstract
Cooperative localization is widely used to solve the network localization problem in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) denied environments. In particular, gathering the measurement results of all nodes on a specific node requires substantial time for aircraft networks. Therefore, methods simultaneously calculating all the target node positions are challenging to apply due to information delay. This study uses only two hops measurements information relying on the time of arrival (TOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) to propose a weighted least squares (WLS) method that decentralizes the calculation of a specific single target node position in a 3D environment. Moreover, the effect of TOA and AOA measurement errors on localization accuracy is analyzed based on the geometric relationship. Consequently, a novel weight-factor calculation method is designed. The simulation results show that the proposed cooperative localization method can improve localization accuracy compared with the decentralized non-cooperative method. Furthermore, the proposed hybrid approach provides superior localization accuracy than the weight-factor calculation method which only considers the distance.
