RSS-AoA-based Target Localization and Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks (eBook)

The desire for precise knowledge about the location of a moving object at any time has recently motivated a great deal of scientific research. This is owing to the steady expansion of the range of enabling devices and technologies as well as the need for seamless solutions for location-based services. Besides localization accuracy, a common requirement for emerging solutions is that they are cost-abstemious in terms of both the financial and computational cost. Hence, the development of localization strategies from already deployed technologies- from different terrestrial radio frequency sources- is of great practical interest. This includes localization strategies based on received signal strength (RSS), time of arrival, angle of arrival (AoA), or a combination of them.RSS-AoA-based Target Localization and Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks presents recent advances in developing algorithms for target localization and tracking, reflecting state-of-the-art algorithms and research achievements in target localization and tracking based on hybrid (RSS-AoA) measurements. Technical topics discussed in the book include:* Centralized RSS-AoA-based Target Localization* Distributed RSS-AoA-based Target Localization* RSS-AoA-based Target Tracking via Maximum A Posteriori Estimator* RSS-AoA-based Target Tracking via Kalman Filter * RSS-AoA-based via Sensor NavigationThis book will be of interest for personnel in telecommunications and surveillance industries, military, and smart systems as well as academic staff and postgraduate/research students in telecommunications, signal processing, and non-smooth and convex optimization.
