The performance analysis of wireless geolocation in a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environment is a very important issue. Since Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) determines the physical impossibility of the variance of an unbiased estimator being less than the bound, many studies presented the performance analysis in terms of CRLB. Several CRLBs for time-of-arrival (TOA), pseudo-range TOA, angle-of-arrival (AOA), and signal strength (SS) based positioning methods have been derived for NLOS environment. However, the performance analysis of time difference of arrival (TDOA) and TDOA/SS based geolocation techniques in a NLOS environment is still an opening issue. This paper derives the CRLBs of TDOA and TDOA/SS based positioning methods for NLOS environment. In addition, theoretical analysis proves that the derived CRLB for TDOA is the same as that of pseudo-range TOA and the TDOA/SS scheme has a lower CRLB than the TDOA (or SS) scheme.

Advances in localization-based technologies and the increase in ubiquitous computing have led to a growing interest in location-based applications and services. High accuracy of the position of a wireless device is still a crucial requirement to be satisfied. Firstly, the rapid development of wireless communication technologies has affected the location accuracy of radio monitoring systems employed locally and globally. Secondly, the location is determined using standard complex computing methods and needs a relatively long execution time. In this paper, two geolocalization techniques, based on trigonometric and CORDIC computing processes, are proposed and implemented for Bluetooth-based indoor monitoring applications. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are investigated in terms of accuracy, scalability, and responsiveness. They show that the proposed techniques can locate a target wireless device accurately and are well suited for timing estimation.

이동 통신망을 이용한 지상파 측위 기술은 GPS와 더불어 LBS를 구성하기 위한 핵심 기술이다. WiBro 시스템은 차세대 통신망으로 주목 받고 있으며, WiBro 망에서 매 프레임마다 방송되는 프리앰블 심볼의 특성을 이용하면 TDOA 방식의 무선 측위가 가능하다. 그러나 WiBro 시스템은 셀룰러 구조로 되어 있기 때문에 일반적으로 단말기가 다수의 기지국 신호로부터 거리정보를 구하기 어렵다. WiBro 망에서 삼변측량을 이용한 무선 측위를 하기 위해서는 수신 신호의 세기를 증가시켜야 하며, 장기 중첩 기법을 이용하여 가청성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 잔여 오차와 수신 신호의 SNR에 따른 동기 중첩 및 비동기 중첩의 성능을 비교하여 WiBro 망에서 최적의 혼합 중첩 방법을 제시하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 혼합 중첩의 성능을 분석하고 WiBro 망을 이용한 무선 측위의 가능성 및 한계를 확인하였다.
