The ability of low-cost mobile devices to quickly and accurately localize their geolocation is extremely important for pedestrian navigation and location-based services (LBS). Traditional approaches typically rely on global information provided by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), beacons, or the high-cost tracking system. Weak signals and slow time to first fix are two limitations of GNSS, other sensors such as inertial measurement unit (IMU) devices will increase the hardware cost and need a substantially more complicated hybrid algorithm. Wi-Fi localization now regarded as a cost-effective way for indoor and outdoor positioning, it's mainly based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements, and there are many commercial products like Skyhook's Wi-Fi positioning technology. But the Wi-Fi database is collected through wardriving and it only provides a coarse location with 30–50m accuracy. In this paper, we present a novel method for metropolitan-scale Wi-Fi localization in Hong Kong. Our PCCW telephone booth Wi-Fi database is gathered through precise measurement based on the public telephone booths information, including the media access control address (MAC address), service set identifier (SSID) and coordinates of the Wi-Fi devices installed in the public telephone booths. We also propose a path loss model in the typical urban environment for improved accuracy in the relationship between RSSI and distance. Experimental results demonstrate that the Wi-Fi installed in the public telephone booths can be effectively used for localization in Hong Kong. The cell identification (Cell-ID) rank approach can generally achieve better than 40m accuracy. The triangulation approach following the Cell-ID rank approach can improve the Wi-Fi positioning accuracy to better than 10m level, if the effective range for path loss model is less than 30m, and under good triangulation geometry.

JAXA has been developing a system to provide a long duration, good quality microgravity environment based on a capsule, named the Balloon-based Operation Vehicle, that can be released from a balloon. In this paper we will describe the Balloon-based operation vehicle itself and the experiments using GPS performed - in cooperation with Delft University of Technology - on the gondola of the balloon in 2008 (single baseline estimation) and 2009 (full attitude determination and relative positioning). The attitude calculated using raw observations from a GPS receiver during the 2009 experiment is compared with Sun Aspect Sensors' and Geomagnetic Aspect Sensor's results and moreover with the attitude as provided by the receiver itself.

In this paper, we provide an experimental result of a new method for resolving GNSS baseline vector. We discuss the single differencing (SD) model for attitude determination and it will be chosen for experiment based on GPS and GLONASS. The Analytical Resolution Method (ARM) is used for attitude angle resolving. This method will be better in reducing computation time. The condition of baseline length is combined with ambiguity function method (AFM) for integrity ambiguity searching and this method is validated in reducing the span of candidates. In addition, the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is brought into this algorithm for selecting the healthy satellites. The experiments are carried out in the campus and the performance is proved to be effective. Our results are based on simulated and real-time GNSS data and applied on single frequency processing, which is known as one of the challenging case of GNSS attitude determination.

This paper proposes the concept of blind calibration of an ad hoc network of localization transmitters. It researches the feasibility of a joint estimation scheme in which both transmitters and mobile positions are unknown and jointly estimated. The paper derives the BLUE estimator of the blind calibration problem, and demonstrates that such calibration is possible through simulation and indoor experiment measurements with a repeater-based localization ted bed.

Due to cell planning in a cellular communication network, it is difficult for a mobile user in a cell to get ranging measurements from other neighboring cells. Consequently, it is necessary to enhance signal sensitivity using long integration techniques so that the user position is obtained by trilateration. In order to maximize integration gain in coherent/noncoherent hybrid long integration, it is desirable to make SNR (signal to noise ratio) after coherent integration become as large as possible. Because SIR (signal to interference ratio) is not improved by the long integration, however, it is needed to mitigate CCI (Co-Channel Interference) so that the resultant hearability can be enhanced for weak signals. This paper presents a hybrid long integration scheme in presence of CCI. SNIR (signal to noise plus interference ratio) is employed to explain the loss induced by interference as well as noise. Together with interference cancellation and residual frequency estimation technique, design procedure of hybrid long integration is proposed to maximize SNIR. Simulation results show that hearability is greatly improved at most of cell coverage when the proposed method is used.

Normally, dual frequency observations are required for precise relative positioning, but under critical circumstances even with multi-frequency observations a reliable solution might not always be available. We have developed a method to rigorously integrate multiantenna data at individual platforms such that the attitude solution can be used to enhance relative positioning. Aim of the method is to instantaneously fix the ambiguities of the unconstrained baselines between platforms, whereas several epochs of data might be required with existing methods where not all available information is applied. We will analyze single epoch success rates as the most challenging application. The difference in performance for the methods for single epoch solutions, is a good indication of the strength of the underlying models, and therefore the results can also indicate how much a multi-epoch solution would benefit from the integrated approaches. This contribution will show that the new method improves the relative positioning performance, both single and dual frequency, of moving platforms significantly. The probability of correct instantaneous ambiguity resolution can be increased up to 37% for single frequency relative positioning. For dual frequency applications with at least three single frequency and one dual frequency antenna at each platform, an empirical success rate of more than 95% is achievable even with large code noise levels. An additional benefit of the method is an improved robustness and precision of the baseline estimation.

This paper tackles the issue of increasing GNSS receivers reliability by presenting a novel ultra-tight integration scheme identified as Gaussian AUtocorrelation Scaled Sum (GAUSS). This hybridization approach is based on the concept that a completely artificial autocorrelation peak, generated starting from the information provided by the inertial sensors can be fused non-coherently into the received signal autocorrelation function to enhance the receiver robustness in harsh conditions as in the presence of interferers and multipath.

This work describes a rich set of navigation data that has been collected by AFRL and an object-oriented framework that makes both the data and relevant processing algorithms available to the research community. Both aerial and ground vehicle platforms were employed, exposing a single sensor suite to a variety of conditions relevant to civil and military applications, including urban and rural terrain and varied time-of-day. The sensor package includes four visible cameras, two LWIR cameras, inertial measurement units ranging from navigation grade, tactical grade and industrial grade. A GINS is utilized to establish platform attitude and position truth. The raw GPS signals are also collected. All this data is synchronously time-stamped with reference to a unified reference time. Of particular interest to the research community is the use of visual sensors to navigate in GNSS-limited environments, especially in cases where the navigation solution must exhibit dynamic continuity. Our data delivery framework goes beyond standardizing data formats by providing a means to standardize the application of relevant processing algorithms. This plays a critical role in integrating data from multiple sensors without violating dynamic constraints. In addition, the framework can be viewed as a testbed for user contributed algorithms, which will help system integrators to explore the trade space of both sensors and algorithms.

Real-life industrial environments pose a challenge for today's radio-based localization systems, as the radio channel is highly affected by the multiple interference present in the environment. Therefore, this paper presents a solution for generating Weighted Multilateration Position Estimation based on the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) for ToA (Time of Arrival) ranging measurements to enhance the fault tolerance, reduce the self-interference of the ranging system and finally enhance the accuracy of the position estimation. A coordinate descent algorithm for optimal anchor placement is demonstrated in this paper, which is based on results of 3D ray tracing. The applied 3D environment model is highly sophisticated, as it was generated by 3D laser scanning for gauging. In a final optimization step, power level adjustment is shown to further enhance the accuracy of the localization system. Concluding, a performance evaluation based on simulations, numerical optimization and experimental measurements in the industrial target environment will demonstrate the improvements of our comprehensive approach in terms of accuracy and robustness.
现实生活中的工业环境对当今基于无线电的定位系统提出了挑战，因为无线电信道受到环境中存在的多重干扰的高度影响。因此，本文提出了一种基于RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator，接收信号强度指标)对ToA(到达时间)测距测量产生加权多重位置估计的解决方案，以增强测距系统的容错性，降低测距系统的自干扰，最终提高位置估计的精度。本文提出了一种基于三维光线追踪结果的坐标下降算法。应用的三维环境模型非常复杂，因为它是通过三维激光扫描测量生成的。在最后的优化步骤中，通过功率电平调整来进一步提高定位系统的精度。最后，基于仿真、数值优化和工业目标环境实验测量的性能评估将证明我们的综合方法在准确性和鲁棒性方面的改进。
