Today, the technology rapidly develops, and various fields show a vigorous development trend, and mobile communication is from 4G to 5G and even 6G, so that intelligent tools such as intelligent robots, unmanned vehicles and the like are popularized, and colors are added to the life of people. The "location" as a class of services is also beginning to be incorporated into people's life, which has prompted the creation of many location-dependent services, such as GPS positioning-based related services including outdoor driving navigation, indoor mall queries, etc., involving corner falls in life, touching aspects of life, without utilizing positioning technology. Under the strong demands of the promotion and life of positioning technology, the construction of a complete and accurate indoor positioning system is urgent, and the indoor positioning system becomes a research hotspot of modern students. There are many reasons for impeding the rapid development of indoor positioning, mainly because the indoor environment is different from the outdoor environment, the indoor arrangement is complex, the signal transmission is hindered by furniture, walls, various decorations, the signal is refracted, reflected and even buried, etc., and the various physical properties of the transmitted signal are severely lost. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problems of inaccurate or even impossible indoor positioning due to complicated indoor arrangement. The existing indoor positioning technology based on Bluetooth, wiFi, inertial navigation and the like is widely applied to indoor positioning, but the positioning accuracy is not very high. The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) positioning technology has a bandwidth up to several hundred megahertz, and by virtue of its Ultra-strong wall-penetrating capability, anti-interference capability, multi-path resolution capability and the like, the Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) positioning technology stands out from a plurality of wireless positioning technologies, and becomes a technology with relatively competitive indoor positioning.
In the field of high-precision indoor positioning, the intensity attenuation positioning and the autonomous positioning meet the bottleneck in meter-level precision, and are difficult to break through. The uncertainty of the intensity decay and the experience relation between the distance and the uncertainty is easily influenced by indoor environment, and the nonlinear increase of the error accumulation caused by the time integration of the autonomous positioning is one of main reasons for bottleneck, which is the weakness of the positioning technology. The intensive research on the indoor positioning technology based on the signal arrival time can also provide support for breaking through the bottleneck of a single technology, but due to the influence of multipath factors in the indoor environment, the time-based positioning method has errors caused by multipath problems, and in the existing time-based indoor positioning technology, the suppression of multipath errors is always placed on an important position. According to the time and space repeatability of the constant environment multipath, the observation value is optimized through modeling of priori data so as to eliminate interference of multipath errors on the positioning result.
