Abstract

Wireless location in wireless communications networks has been studied extensively in recent years. Among the network-based approaches, time of arrival (TOA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA) are two time-based techniques used in location estimation. It is known that the accuracy of location estimation may suffer from poor geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) situation and non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation effect. To provide more accurate measures for time-based location techniques under the effects of GDOP in wireless communications networks, a data fusion with fuzzy rules is presented. Based on the GDOP statistical properties of the raw location measures, the data fusion integrates data obtained from the TOA and TDOA techniques. Simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy logic-based data fusion effectively improves the overall accuracy of location estimation in wireless location systems.
