Abstract
Recently, node localization for multi-hop sensor networks has attracted considerable attention. In these networks, error propagation provides a serious challenge to algorithm development and accuracy of final location estimates. In this paper we introduce a novel computationally efficient distributed algorithm, cooperative localization with optimum quality of estimate (CEOQ) which takes advantage of the behavior of the channel to provide accurate indoor positioning. This algorithm uses the quality of ranging and positioning estimates to provide practical and accurate results and more importantly reduce error propagation substantially. Using UWB measurements and modeling of the ranging error in a typical office building we compare the performance of this cooperative localization algorithm with a non-channel based algorithm for indoor ad-hoc sensor environmentsKeywords
