Abstract

The problem of locating mobile sensors has received considerable attention, particularly in the field of wireless communications. It is well-known that the presence of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors in the geo-location problem leads to severe degradation in the localization performance. In this paper, we propose a robust Bayesian method to mitigate the NLOS errors in location estimation of a single moving sensor, whereby the localization is performed using time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements. This method is based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach. Numerical simulations results illustrate the promising results of our method in a mixed line-of-sight (LOS) and NLOS environment.
