Abstract

In this paper, we propose a rapid asynchronous UWB (Ultra Wide Band) position location scheme based on double RTTs (Round-Trip Transmissions). In the proposed scheme, to avoid performance degradation of the position location in harsh multipath channel environments where LoS (Line-of-Sight) components are not always guaranteed, the remaining RTT information is solved from realistic double RTTs. Simulation results in IEEE 802.15.4a UWB channel models reveal that the proposed scheme can achieve closely comparable position location accuracy of the conventional ToA (Time of Arrival) method based on triple RTTs, while reducing the processing delay required for the calculation of the position locations.
