Abstract

This paper explores two different algorithms designed for quick triangulation in the face of numerous incorrect measurements. The incorrect measurements can be randomly faulty or maliciously converging to an incorrect answer. Both algorithms require the number of correct measurements to exceed a user defined consensus threshold. Both algorithms will correctly terminate in an environment possessing more than 50% faulty beacons, as long as the number of correct measurements exceed the consensus threshold.
