To mitigate the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) effect, a three-step positioning approach is proposed in this article for target tracking. The possibility of each distance measurement under line-of-sight condition is first obtained by applying the truncated triangular probability-possibility transformation associated with fuzzy modeling. Based on the calculated possibilities, the measurements are utilized to obtain intermediate position estimates using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), according to identified measurement condition. These intermediate position estimates are then filtered using a linear Kalman filter (KF) to produce the final target position estimates. The target motion information and statistical characteristics of the MLE results are employed in updating the KF parameters. The KF position prediction is exploited for MLE parameter initialization and distance measurement selection. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the existing algorithms in the presence of unknown NLOS propagation conditions and achieves a performance close to that when propagation conditions are perfectly known. |
