TOA and DOA Joint Estimation Using Successive MUSIC Algorithm in IR-UWB Positioning Systems
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Techniques - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an autonomous and self-organizing network without any pre-established infrastructure which offers many advantages in military applications and emergency areas. Source Localization is one of the important monitoring tasks of the WSN. It provides the accurate position of the source using various positioning technologies. In this paper an Impulse Radio Ultra wideband (IR-UWB) positioning system with a two-antenna receiver is used to estimate the Time of arrival (TOA) and Direction of arrival (DOA) positioning parameters. A two dimensional (2D) multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is used to estimate these parameters but it has much higher computational complexity and also requires 2D spectral peak search. A Successive Multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is proposed in this paper which estimates the parameters jointly and gets paired automatically. It avoids the two dimensional peak searches and reduces the complexity compared to the existing methods 2D-MUSIC, Root-MUSIC, Matrix Pencil algorithm, Propagator method and Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm.
