Abstract
Although anchors are the most common in cooperative localizations, they are not the optimal in the class of equality constraints which provide the global reference information for deriving absolute locations. Using Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) to evaluate the localization accuracy, this paper derives the optimal equality constraints that achieve the lowest CRLB trace under given constraint number, and analyzes the feasibility of constructing the optimal constraints before knowing the node ground truth locations. Simulations compare the performance between the anchor-type constraints and the optimal ones, and suggest a cooperative localization algorithm by using the optimal equality constraints.
