Abstract

The invention relates to a novel wireless positioning method by adopting distance geometry under the NLOS environment. On the basis of TOA measuring values, the method provides two kinds of algorithms based on the distance geometry theory under the honeycomb cell environment on two-dimensional space, and the two algorithms include the filtering algorithm and the constraint algorithm. Firstly, the distance geometry relationships between base stations and between the base stations and a mobile station are utilized for constructing a constraint function, the filtering algorithm conducts position estimation by selecting a set of measuring values with the relatively small error from a plurality of sets of measuring values, and the constraint algorithm conducts nonlinearly constrained optimization on the obtained measuring values to a certain extent and then conducts position estimation. It is guaranteed that under the situation that non-sight-distance measuring values are not identified and removed in advance, the non-sight-distance error can be effectively restrained, and the positioning accuracy can be improved.

Condition 2:
For meeting r+1<u, v≤n positive integer u, v has
Δ(1,2,L,r+1,u)=Δ(1,2,L,r+1,v)=Δ(1,2,L,r+1,u,v)=0

If can obtain many group measured values, in these measured values, have so and must have one group of measured value to compare deviate minimum with actual value, approach most the measured value under LOS.Geometric distance filtering algorithm (Distance geometric filtering, calls DGF in the following text) will be attempted finding out this group in these measured values and approach one group of measured value in LOS situation most, and it is positioned as locator data.
During four architectures, according to the condition two of Blumenthal theorem, make in (3) formula

calculate and abbreviation, can obtain
t 1 2 - t 2 2 + t 3 2 - t 4 2 - 4 a 2 - - - ( 6 )
(t wherein 1, t 2, t 3) while being respectively error free (O, A, B, C) to the time measured value of some M, a is half of adjacent base station distance.And actual measured value is owing to having comprised NLOS error, cannot obtain as the equation of (5) formula, therefore, can from many groups measured value, choose
Figure BDA0000447287820000073
one group of value minimum as location survey value.In TOA model, obtain measuring equation group
( x - x 1 ) 2 + ( y - y 1 ) 2 = v 2 t 1 2 ( x - x 2 ) 2 + ( y - y 2 ) 2 = v 2 t 2 2 ( x - x 3 ) 2 + ( y - y 3 ) 2 = v 2 t 3 2 ( x - x 4 ) 2 + ( y - y 4 ) 2 = v 2 t 4 2 - - - ( 7 )
Appoint and to get 3 setting circles, its equation subtracts each other between two three straight lines that obtain and intersects at a point (as shown in Figure 2), and 4 setting circles are appointed respectively and got 3, can obtain four intersection points

Figure BDA00004472878200000710
according to centroid algorithm, location of mobile station is:
( x M 1 + x M 2 + x M 3 + x M 4 4 , y M 1 + y M 2 + y M 3 + y M 4 4 )
By base station (O, A, B, C) coordinate substitution (7) formula, solve and can obtain location of mobile station coordinate:
x = 3 v 2 ( t 1 2 - 3 t 2 2 - t 3 2 + 3 t 4 2 ) 24 a + 3 a 2 y = v 2 ( t 1 2 + t 2 2 - t 3 2 - t 4 2 ) 8 a + 3 a 2 - - - ( 8 )
Location survey value substitution (8) formula obtaining is resolved.
In like manner, when adopting three architectures, can obtain and retrain accordingly equation and be
p 1 2 + p 2 2 + p 3 2 - v 4 ( t 1 2 t 2 2 + t 1 2 t 3 2 + t 2 2 t 3 2 ) + 4 a 2 = 0 - - - ( 9 )
Wherein p 1 = v 2 t 1 2 - 2 a 2 , p 2 = v 2 t 2 2 - 2 a 2 , p 3 = v 2 t 3 2 - 2 a 2
Corresponding position coordinates is
x = 3 v 2 ( t 1 2 - 2 t 2 2 + t 3 2 ) 12 a + 3 3 a y = v 2 ( t 1 2 - t 3 2 ) 4 a + a - - - ( 10 )
2, geometric distance bounding algorithm
Because how NLOS error has compared a larger overgauge with LOS, geometric distance bounding algorithm (Distance geometric constraint, call DGC in the following text) utilize geometrical relationship to make measured value deduct certain deviate, thus make the one group of measured value obtaining can be closer to the measured value under LOS.
During four architectures, known (6) formula:
t 1 2 - t 2 2 + t 3 2 - t 4 2 - 4 a 2 = 0
Due to the existence of NLOS, measured value has a large positive deviation than actual value, therefore can establish measured value

Obtain
&epsiv; 1 - &epsiv; 2 + &epsiv; 3 - &epsiv; 4 - t m 1 2 + t m 2 2 - t m 3 2 + t m 4 2 + 4 a 2 = 0 - - - ( 12 )
Therefore measured value optimization problem is converted into following nonlinear optimal problem:

(x i, y i) be the coordinate figure of base station i, d ithe travelling carriage obtaining for step (3) is to the distance parameter value of base station i.
In order to assess the validity of geometric distance bounding algorithm, with MATLAB, algorithm has been carried out to emulation.For convenient simulation, at this, utilized least-squares algorithm to position DGC algorithm, and compared with positioning performance and the DGF algorithm performance of common least-squares algorithm.The value of adjusting the distance of the present invention simultaneously optimization method improves and compares.Simulation result shows, in cellular network base stations, divides and plants, and supposes that base station spacing is 1000m, when non line of sight error to standard deviation at 50m between 500m time, location mean square error preferably all can reach 25m left and right.
The mean square error of having studied algorithm positioning solution under different NLOS errors in emulation, expression formula is:
RMSE = ( x - x 0 ) 2 + ( y - y 0 ) 2 - - - ( 17 )
Wherein, (x 0, y 0) be the physical location of travelling carriage, the estimated position that (x, y) is travelling carriage.
Under the environment of cellular cell, adopt arrangement of base stations as shown in Figure 1, with four base stations of diamond shape or three base stations of equilateral triangle shape, inner travelling carriage is positioned.
In emulation experiment, suppose that two base station spacings are 1000m, NLOS error mean difference is 250m, double counting 1000 times is also averaged, and obtains four base stations and three kinds of three base stations location simulation result as Fig. 3,4 and Fig. 5 shown in.
From positioning result intuitively, DGF algorithm has suppressed NLOS error preferably, and positioning precision has been compared very big raising with LS algorithm, and its position location extremely approaches travelling carriage actual position; Although the precision of DGC algorithm also improves, be not so good as DGF algorithm obvious.
For different NLOS errors (mean difference be 50m to 500m not etc.), carried out 10 location simulations simulations, each emulation double counting is also averaged for 1000 times, in four base stations and three base station situations, obtains simulation result respectively as shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8.
From simulation result, increase along with NLOS error, the positioning precision of LS algorithm obviously declines, DGC algorithm is owing to being to adopt LS algorithm to position after measured value is optimized again, therefore similar with LS algorithm, along with NLOS error increases, positioning precision declines also obvious, but general location precision is better than LS algorithm and learns from this point analysis, if adopt other algorithm (as Taylor algorithm, Chan algorithm etc.) also to have similar result.And DGF algorithm fluctuation and NLOS error size do not have obvious relation, positioning precision is obviously better than other two kinds of algorithms.DGC algorithm is better than three base station situations in the situation that of four base stations, because more measured value can better improve positioning precision under NLOS environment, but for DGF algorithm, base station number is on the impact of positioning precision not obvious, if be because can obtain NLOS error unconspicuous one group of measured value, use minimum base station number also can obtain comparatively desirable positioning result.
Through the analysis to emulated data, why DGC method does not obtain particularly preferred effect, because according to the principle of nonlinear optimization process, in calculating, to the optimization of deviate, can not offset real NLOS error completely, can only obtain micro-optimum results, the optimization measured value finally obtaining is compared with corresponding LOS measured value or is had certain error, and precision is lower when NLOS error is larger.But DGC theoretical method only needs an a small amount of measured value just can be optimized location, thus in the less demanding situation of computation complexity and NLOS error compared with hour considering; DGF method needs many group measured values, after algorithm, getting after filtering a class value positions, with NLOS mean error size without obvious relation, but its precision depends on that group of error minimum in obtained measured value, so the suitable NLOS of being applied in error is large and measured value has very large probability acquisition to approach in the situation of measured value under LOS.Compare with three architectures, four architectures can make DGC algorithm obtain higher positioning precision, and its algorithmic formula is more succinct, and while carrying out nonlinear optimization, computation complexity is lower.
