Association-Free Multilateration Based on Times of Arrival

Daniel Frisch,Uwe D. Hanebeck,Daniel Frisch,Uwe D. Hanebeck

Multilateration systems reconstruct the location of a target that transmits electromagnetic or acoustic signals. The employed measurements for localization are the times of arrival (TOAs) of the transmitted signal, measured by a number of spatially distributed receivers at known positions. We present a novel multilateration algorithm to localize multiple targets that transmit indistinguishable sig...
