Abstract
The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error is a major error source in wireless localization. Therefore, an improved constrained least-squares (CLS) algorithm is put forward to tackle this issue, where the positioning problem is formulated as a mathematical programming problem. And then, the cost function of the optimization is studied and a new one is proposed. Finally, through the presented optimization, we try to minimize the positioning influence of NLOS errors. Moreover, the studied method does not depend on a particular distribution of the NLOS error. Simulation results show that the positioning accuracy is significantly improved over traditional CLS algorithms, even under highly NLOS conditions.
