Abstract

The motion of sensors during the measurement period, if not accounted for, can degrade significantly the localization accuracy. This paper investigates the sensor motion effect for the positioning of an object, using angles of arrival only or together with time of arrival measurements. The biases from the AOA and TOA data models when ignoring the motion effect are examined. Positioning algorithms for AOA localization and mixed AOA-TOA localization that account for the motion effect are developed by the pseudo-linear formulation. The algorithms derived include the computationally attractive closed-form estimators and the noise resilient semidefinite programming solutions. The bias coming from the pseudo-linear formulation is analyzed in detail, and it can be subtracted from the closed-form solution to obtain a bias-suppressed estimate. Simulation validates the effectiveness of the proposed solutions in achieving the CRLB performance under Gaussian noise before the thresholding effect occurs.
