초록

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation is one of the challenges in radio positioning. Distinguishing the transmission status of the communication as line-of-sight (LOS) or NLOS is of great importance for the wireless communication systems. This paper focuses on the identification of NLOS based on time-of-arrival (TOA) distance estimates and the received signal strength (RSS) measurements. We set a path loss threshold based on the joint TOA and RSS based NLOS detection method to determine LOS or NLOS. Simulation results show that the proposed method ensures the correct of detection for the LOS condition and can improve the NLOS identification for the weak noise and long distance.
