TDoA Based Positioning using Ultrasound Signals and Wireless Nodes
In this paper, a positioning technique based on Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) measurements is analyzed. The proposed approach is designed to consent range and position estimation, using ultrasound transmissions of a stream of chirp pulses, received by a set of wireless nodes. A potential source of inaccuracy introduced by lack of synchronization between transmitting node and receiving nodes is identified and characterized. An algorithm to identify and correct such inaccuracies is presented.
