This letter addresses the problem of target localization in adverse non-line-of-sight environments. By utilizing integrated received signal strength and time of arrival measurements, a novel alternating algorithm is proposed. The new algorithm is derived by converting the original nonconvex problem into a generalized trust region sub-problem framework, which can be solved exactly by just a bisection procedure. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is very light in terms of computational cost, and its excellent estimation accuracy is validated through computer simulations.
