Consider the influence of multipath noise on the positioning performance, the proposed method firstly presents a modified high-resolution estimation technique called Multipath noise Limiting Matrix Pencil(MLMP) algorithm to achieve the TOA/DOA estimations, in which the matrix pencil and matrix enhancement process are implemented to deal with the measurements from the uniform linear array(ULA) receiver. Meanwhile, the subspace dimension estimation is improved via an adaptive threshold, for enhancing the performance of high-resolution techniques in low signal-noise-ration(SNR) situation. Next the proposed method generates virtual stations utilizing the known floor plan of surrounding reflectors, and adopts a weighted Least Square(WLS) position estimator to calculate the required position, combining the TOA/DOA estimations with the location of virtual stations. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the proposed method under NLOSconditions, and the results show that comparing with the multipath fingerprinting scheme, the proposed method has better performance in various simulation scenarios.展开更多

Using the structure of assisted satellite position system, UE was guaranteed to acquire navigation information of the three visible satellites rapidly, and three satellite observation equation were acquired, then the arrival time difference between UE and two adjacent base stations was used as an auxiliary, and a full-rank equation was constructed to achieve positioning by least squares method. The results showed that the algorithm had good convergence ability and positioning accuracy, and the confidence of this method's positioning error, according to 3GPP request of assisted satellite navigation accuracy error within 50 m, reaches 94.56%, the average positioning accuracy was 16.8 m. The validity of this algorithm was demonstrated.展开更多

Therefore, not only can a positioning solution which is completely independent of the baseline length between two stations be derived, but also the baseline length can be solved as an unknown quantity. These findings not only enhance the performance of the two-station positioning system, but also provide a design basis for the construction of a self-organizing dynamic intelligent positioning system.展开更多
