Title
Received signal strength-based joint parameter estimation algorithm for robust geolocation in LOS/NLOS environments
Abstract
We consider received-signal-strength-based robust geolocation in mixed line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight propagation environments. Herein, we assume a mode-dependent propagation model with unknown parameters. We propose to jointly estimate the geographical coordinates and propagation model parameters. In order to approximate the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE), we develop an iterative algorithm based on the well-known expectation and maximization criterion. As compared to the standard ML implementation, the proposed algorithm is simpler to implement and capable of reproducing the MLE. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm attains the best geolocation accuracy as the number of measurements increases.
