Abstract:

A new time of arrival (TOA) location algorithm based on the linear correction technique is proposed to address the non-linear problem of TOA positioning. The proposed algorithm firstly rearranges the TOA measurement equations into pseudo-linear ones and we obtain the initial target position estimation using the weighted least-squares estimator. Then a linear correction technique is used to correct the initial estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed. Simulation study validates the good performance of the proposed algorithm.

Key words: location, time of arrival, weighted least squares estimates, linear-correction
