A Theoretical Foundation of Network Localization and Navigation
By M. Z. Win, Y. Shen, and W. Dai
This paper provides a theoretical foundation for the design of localization and navigation networks, paving the way to a new level of performance via spatiotemporal cooperation.
Received-Signal-Strength-Based Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks
By R. Niu, A. Vempaty, and P. K. Varshney
This paper presents an overview of recent developments in received-signalstrength-based localization for wireless sensor networks, with an emphasis on minimizing the communication overheads.
A Survey on the Impact of Multipath on Wideband Time-of-Arrival Based Localization
By S. Aditya, A. F. Molisch, and H. M. Behairy
This paper overviews the state-of-the-art techniques that address the effects of multipath on localization accuracy in complex environments.
Distributed Localization: A Linear Theory
By S. Safavi, U. A. Khan, S. Kar, and J. M. F. Moura
This paper presents a cooperative linear distributed iterative solution for localization in a 5G-enabled IoT environment where many low-power mobile agents do not have direct access to anchors.
