Abstract

Locating an unknown-position source using received signal strength (RSS) measurements in an accurate and low-complexity manner is addressed in this paper. Given that the source transmit power is unknown, we employ the differential RSS information to devise two computationally attractive localization methods based on the weighted least squares (WLS) approach. The main ingredients in the first algorithm development are to obtain the unbiased estimates of the squared ranges and introduce an extra variable. The second method improves the first version by implicitly exploiting the relationship between the extra variable and source location through a second WLS step. The performance of the two estimators is analyzed in the presence of zero-mean white Gaussian disturbances. Numerical examples are also included to evaluate their localization accuracy by comparing with the maximum likelihood approach and Cramer-Rao lower bound.
