摘要: 针对在WiFi环境下使用TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival)和AOA(Time of Arrival)算法对移动终端进定位时需要添加额外硬件且定位精度不够高的问题,提出了一种TDOAAOE混合定位算法。该方法不使用信号到达角而使用信号发出角AOE(Angle of Emission, AOE)信息进行定位,通过电机带动有向天线旋转,并将有向天线的角度信息编码到信标中,移动终端获取信标后解码即可完成定位,以此代替了测量信号角度的传感器。同时,该方法将TDOA时间差的思想融合到了AOE测量中,减小了角度测量误差。实验结果表明,TDOAAOE混合定位算法与TDOA、AOA算法相比,具有更好的定位性能。

Abstract: TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) and AOA(Angel of Arrival) methods require additional sensing mechanisms and have poor positioning accuracy used in WiFi environment, so a novel TDOAAOE hybrid positioning algorithm was proposed. The proposed algorithm used the AOE (Angle of Emission) information instead of AOA information to estimate the position of a WiFi-based mobile terminal. In this method, access points emitted signals with angle information encoded in beacon packets through directional antennas; which was rotated by motors. WiFi-based mobile devices estimated angles of the access points by receiving and decoding these beacon packets, which calculated the position themselves. This method integrated time-difference idea of TDOA method to decrease the angular measuring error without any additional sensors. Simulation results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm performs much better than TDOA and AOA method in terms of positioning accuracy and deployment costs.
