Abstract

A time difference of arrival/angle of arrival(TDOA/AOA) data fusion location algorithm is proposed.The RBF neural network is made use of to correct the measurement of TDOA to mitigate the effect of the non-line-of-sight(NLOS) propagation,then the position of MS is calculated by the TDOA location algorithm and AOA location algorithm,and finally the position of MS is determined by the weighted average of TDOA and AOA location results.Simulation results indicate that this algorithm can significantly improve the location accuracy and reliability under suburban,urban and bad urban environments.
