Abstract
Impulse Radio Ultra Wide Band (IR-UWB) system can be used to wireless position location system because of its unique very short pulse in the order of nanosecond. A few algorithms have been proposed to calculate location of sensors or tags. In this paper, we compare these algorithms and propose 'TDoA with wireless synchronization' as practical solution. Earlier algorithms need special logic to fix the duration to receive and send pulse or assume synchronization with wire. In proposed method, beacons synchronize each other using impulse and nodes can be made simple and cheap. We evaluated the performance and it shows 50% improved accuracy at the error range of 50cm.
