Description
Summary:All existing hybrid target localization algorithms using received signal strength (RSS) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements in wireless sensor networks, to the best of our knowledge, assume a single target such that even in the presence of multiple targets, the target localization problem is translated to multiple single-target localization problems by assuming that multiple measurements in a node are identified with their originated targets. Herein, we first consider the problem of multi-target localization when each anchor node contains multiple RSS and AOA measurement sets of unidentified origin. We propose a computationally efficient method to cluster RSS/AOA measurement sets that originate from the same target and apply the existing single-target linear hybrid localization algorithm to estimate multiple target positions. The complexity analysis of the proposed algorithm is presented, and its performance under various noise environments is analyzed via simulations.
