An Application of Canonical Decomposition to TDOA Estimation for 3D Wireless Sensor Network Node Localization

In this paper, a time difference of arrival (TDOA) estimation algorithm is proposed by extending canonical correlation decomposition (CCD) to measure multipath delays for determining node positions in Ultra-wideband wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Multilateral localization based on 3D Chan algorithm is employed to solve the non-linear problems for performance improvement. The method can perform well in the environment with unknown noise. The effectiveness is validated by simulations and the effects of noise and the number of anchor nodes are analyzed.
