SUMMARYA new efficient algorithm based on time of arrival to determine the position of a mobile object (MO) in a wireless environment is proposed. Since all operations in our algorithm are simple add and shift operations, it can be easily implemented in the MO's firmware or hardware to reduce the number of instructions and computational cost involved in the localization task. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of computational cost and implementation simplicity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
