Robust graph‐based localization for industrial Internet of things in the presence of flipping ambiguities

Localisation of machines in harsh Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)environment is necessary for various applications.Therefore,a novel localisation algorithm is proposed for noisy range measurements in IIoT networks.The position of an unknown machine device in the network is estimated using the relative distances between blind machines(BMs)and anchor machines(AMs).Moreover,a more practical and challenging scenario with the erroneous position of AM is considered,which brings additional uncertainty to the final position estimation.Therefore,the AMs selection algorithm for the localisation of BMs in the IIoT network is introduced.Only those AMs will participate in the localisation process,which increases the accuracy of the final location estimate.Then,the closed‐form expression of the proposed greedy successive anchorization process is derived,which prevents possible local convergence,reduces computation,and achieves Cramér‐Rao lower bound accuracy for white Gaussian measurement noise.The results are compared with the state‐of‐the‐art and verified through numerous simulations.

Time resource management of OAR based on fuzzy logic priority for multiple target tracking

For coping with the multiple target tracking in the presence of complex time-varying environments and unknown target information, a time resource management scheme based on chance-constraint programming（CCP） employing fuzzy logic priority is proposed for opportunistic array radar（OAR）. In this scheme,the total beam illuminating time is minimized by effective time resource allocation so that the desired tracking performance is achieved. Meanwhile, owing to the randomness of radar cross section（RCS）, the CCP is used to balance tracking accuracy and time resource conditioned on the specified confidence level. The adaptive fuzzy logic prioritization, imitating the human decision-making process for ranking radar targets, can realize the full potential of radar. The Bayesian Crame ′r-Rao lower bound（BCRLB） provides us with a low bound of localization estimation root-mean-square error（RMSE）, and equally important, it can be calculated predictively. Consequently, it is employed as an optimization criterion for the time resource allocation scheme. The stochastic simulation is integrated into the genetic algorithm（GA） to compose a hybrid intelligent optimization algorithm to solve the CCP optimization problem. The simulation results show that the time resource is saved strikingly and the radar performance is also improved.

Robust Frequency Estimation Under Additive Mixture Noise

In many applications such as multiuser radar communications and astrophysical imaging processing,the encountered noise is usually described by the finite sum ofα-stable(1≤α<2)variables.In this paper,a new parameter estimator is developed,in the presence of this new heavy-tailed noise.Since the closed-formPDF of theα-stable variable does not exist exceptα=1 andα=2,we take the sum of the Cauchy(α=1)and Gaussian(α=2)noise as an example,namely,additive Cauchy-Gaussian(ACG)noise.The probability density function(PDF)of the mixed random variable,can be calculated by the convolution of the Cauchy’s PDF and Gaussian’s PDF.Because of the complicated integral in the PDF expression of the ACG noise,traditional estimators,e.g.,maximum likelihood,are analytically not tractable.To obtain the optimal estimates,a new robust frequency estimator is devised by employing the Metropolis-Hastings(M-H)algorithm.Meanwhile,to guarantee the fast convergence of the M-H chain,a new proposal covariance criterion is also devised,where the batch of previous samples are utilized to iteratively update the proposal covariance in each sampling process.Computer simulations are carried out to indicate the superiority of the developed scheme,when compared with several conventional estimators and the Cramér-Rao lower bound.

Direction finding of bistatic MIMO radar in strong impulse noise

For bistatic multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)radar,this paper presents a robust and direction finding method in strong impulse noise environment.By means of a new lower order covariance,the method is effective in suppressing impulse noise and achieving superior direction finding performance using the maximum likelihood(ML)estimation method.A quantum equilibrium optimizer algorithm(QEOA)is devised to resolve the corresponding objective function for efficient and accurate direc-tion finding.The results of simulation reveal the capability of the presented method in success rate and root mean square error over existing direction-finding methods in different application situations,e.g.,locating coherent signal sources with very few snapshots in strong impulse noise.Other than that,the Cramér-Rao bound(CRB)under impulse noise environment has been drawn to test the capability of the presented method.

A two-step weighted least-squares method for joint estimation of source and sensor locations: A general framework

It is well known that the Two-step Weighted Least-Squares(TWLS) is a widely used method for source localization and sensor position refinement. For this reason, we propose a unified framework of the TWLS method for joint estimation of multiple disjoint sources and sensor locations in this paper. Unlike some existing works, the presented method is based on more general measurement model, and therefore it can be applied to many different localization scenarios.Besides, it does not have the initialization and local convergence problem. The closed-form expression for the covariance matrix of the proposed TWLS estimator is also derived by exploiting the first-order perturbation analysis. Moreover, the estimation accuracy of the TWLS method is shown analytically to achieve the Cramér-Rao Bound(CRB) before the threshold effect takes place. The theoretical analysis is also performed in a common mathematical framework, rather than aiming at some specific signal metrics. Finally, two numerical experiments are performed to support the theoretical development in this paper.

Distribution system state estimation: an overview of recent developments

In the envisioned smart grid, high penetration of uncertain renewables, unpredictable participation of(industrial) customers, and purposeful manipulation of smart meter readings, all highlight the need for accurate,fast, and robust power system state estimation(PSSE). Nonetheless, most real-time data available in the current and upcoming transmission/distribution systems are nonlinear in power system states(i.e., nodal voltage phasors).Scalable approaches to dealing with PSSE tasks undergo a paradigm shift toward addressing the unique modeling and computational challenges associated with those nonlinear measurements. In this study, we provide a contemporary overview of PSSE and describe the current state of the art in the nonlinear weighted least-squares and least-absolutevalue PSSE. To benchmark the performance of unbiased estimators, the Cramér-Rao lower bound is developed.Accounting for cyber attacks, new corruption models are introduced, and robust PSSE approaches are outlined as well. Finally, distribution system state estimation is discussed along with its current challenges. Simulation tests corroborate the effectiveness of the developed algorithms as well as the practical merits of the theory.

A new iterative algorithm for geolocating a known altitude target using TDOA and FDOA measurements in the presence of satellite location uncertainty

This paper considers the problem of geolocating a target on the Earth surface whose altitude is known previously using the target signal time difference of arrival （TDOA） and frequency difference of arrival （FDOA） measurements obtained at satellites. The number of satellites available for the geolocation task is more than sufficient and their locations are subject to random errors. This paper derives the constrained Cramor-Rao lower bound （CCRLB） of the target position, and on the basis of the CCRLB analysis, an approximately efficient constrained maximum likelihood estimator （CMLE） for geolocating the target is established. A new iterative algorithm for solving the CMLE is then proposed, where the updated target position estimate is shown to be the globally optimal solution to a generalized trust region sub-problem （GTRS） which can be found via a simple bisection search. First-order mean square error （MSE） analysis is conducted to quantify the performance degradation when the known target altitude is assumed to be precise but indeed has an unknown but deterministic error. Computer simulations are used to compare the performance of the proposed iterative geolocation technique with those of two benchmark algorithms. They verify the approximate efficiency of the proposed algorithm and the validity of the MSE analysis.

Closed form algorithm of double-satellite TDOA+AOA localization based on WGS-84 model

In this paper,we consider the double-satellite localization under the earth ellipsoid model of the Wideband Geodetic System(WGS-84)using the Time Difference of Arrival(TDOA)and the Angle-of-Arrival(AOA).Several closed-form solution algorithms via the pseudolinearization of the measurement equations are presented to efficiently estimate the location.These algorithms include the Weighted Least Squares(WLS),the Constrained Total Least Squares(CTLS),and the Taylor-Series Iteration(TSI).Performance comparison of the proposed methods with the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound(CRLB)in the simulation is shown to demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are feasible and have stable performance.

Error Data Analytics on RSS Range-Based Localization

The quality of measurement data is critical to the accuracy of both outdoor and indoor localization methods.Due to the inevitable measurement error,the analytics on the error data is critical to evaluate localization methods and to find the effective ones.For indoor localization,Received Signal Strength(RSS)is a convenient and low-cost measurement that has been adopted in many localization approaches.However,using RSS data for localization needs to solve a fundamental problem,that is,how accurate are these methods?The reason of the low accuracy of the current RSS-based localization methods is the oversimplified analysis on RSS measurement data.In this proposed work,we adopt a generalized measurement model to find optimal estimators whose estimated error is equal to the Cram′er-Rao Lower Bound(CRLB).Through mathematical techniques,the key factors that affect the accuracy of RSS-based localization methods are revealed,and the analytics expression that discloses the proportional relationship between the localization accuracy and these factors is derived.The significance of our discovery has two folds:First,we present a general expression for localization error data analytics,which can explain and predict the accuracy of range-based localization algorithms;second,the further study on the general analytics expression and its minimum can be used to optimize current localization algorithms.
