Currently, the importance of location-based services and location awareness has been grown due to the advancement of wireless communication technologies. Among several localization techniques, the trilateration localization is one of major localization techniques. However, distance estimation errors caused by obstacles and indoor environment changes lead to inaccurate localization. Although there are existing trilateration localization methods, they have focused on addressing a few problems of trilateration location approaches without detailed analysis. This paper analyzes existing trilateration location methods and evaluate their performance.

The objective of this paper is to study the characteristics of combination method to correct both angle and distance errors simultaneously based on the least square adjustment methods. Changing the standard errors of distance and angle, the simulation errors of triangultion, trilateration, and combination result in some 39.8%, 33.9%, and 26.3% respectively. As the above, combination method shows more consistent accuracy than other methods. When considering the weight factor about error elements with independence, the diminishing rate of simulated average standard error represents a various change in each method. But considering them simultaneously, it shows a remarkable rate of diminishing 75.5%, 74.1%, and 69.2% in each method. And also, by growing the weight factor, accuracy of triangulation method is growing, whereas that of trilateration is diminishing. Therefore, determining the reasonable weight factors of distance and angle errors simultaneously in the analytical combination method, this method is expected to be one of more accurate and more effective methods for determining horizontal positions on the earth.

In this paper, we proposed a new trilateration technique based on exponential moving average (EMA) filter with adaptive signal model which enhances accuracy of positioning system even if the RSSI changes randomly due to movement of obstacles or blind node in indoor environment. In the proposed scheme, three fixed transmitters sent out the signal to blind node. The transmitter decides the location of the blind node based on RSSI and it estimates the cause of RSSI fluctuation which is interference of obstacle or movement of blind node. When the path between blind node and transmitter has become NLOS path because of obstacles, the transmitter ignores the measured RSSI in NLOS path and replace estimated RSSI in LOS environment. In the other case, the transmitter updated the new RSSI to represent of movement of blind node. The proposed scheme has been verified on a ZigBee testbed and we proved the improved positioning accuracy compared to the existing indoor position system.

Currently in the development of community wireless technology is gaining interest in location-based services and as a result, the importance of the location information is a growing trend. To calculate the location information is being suggested several ways, among them Trilateration is representative. Trilateration is three beacon nodes, the distance between the location in which you want to calculate with information. Beacon from a node to know where to get information when the distance between the obstacle and the distance error caused by the surrounding environment, which leads to the exact location can not be obtained. Currently due to distance error, location information has a variety of algorithms to reduce the error. However, a systematic analysis of these algorithms is not progress. This paper analyzes the location-aware technologies, and the error the distance of the location information to reduce errors in the various aspects of the algorithm for the systematic and empirical comparison was evaluated through the analysis.

This paper is to technically implement the sensing platform for Home-Wellness Robot. The self-Localization of indoor mobile robot is very important for the sophisticated trajectory control. In this paper, the robot's self-localization algorithm is designed by RF sensor network and fuzzy inference. The robot realizes its self-localization, using RFID sensors, through the collaboration algorithm which uses fuzzy inference for combining the strengths of triangulation and triangulation. For the triangulation self-Localization, RSSI is implemented. TOA method is used for realizing the triangulation self-localization. The final improved position is, through fuzzy inference, made by the fusion algorithm of the resultant coordinates from trilateration and triangulation in real time. In this paper, good performance of the proposed self-localization algorithm is confirmed through the results of a variety of experiments in the base of RFID sensor network and reader system.

Trilateration technique using time of arrival(TOA) is generally used for single target position estimation in radar system. However, trilateration technique has limitation in case of multiple targets, since it is difficult to distinguish the measurements corresponding to the respective targets. In this study, to eliminate ambiguity of relation between measurements and targets, micromotion of each target is measured by micro Doppler which is actively studied in radar industry nowadays and these information are used to distinguish measurements used at trilateration technique. Resultingly, the trilateration technique is applied successfully for each target. The targets are considered as multiple submissiles separated from the missile. Simulation results shows the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Indoor localization based on visible-light communication using the received signal strength intensity (RSSI) has been widely studied because of its high accuracy compared with other wireless localization methods. However, because the RSSI can vary according to the inclination and azimuth of the receiver, a large error can occur, even at the same position. In this paper, we propose a visible-light communication-based 3-D indoor positioning algorithm using the Gauss-Newton technique in order to reduce the errors caused by the change in the inclination of the receiver. The proposed system reduces the amount of computations by selecting the initial position of the receiver through the linear least-squares method (LSM), which is applied to the RSSIs, and improves the position accuracy by applying the Gauss-Newton technique to the 3-D nonlinear model that contains the RSSIs acquired by the changes in the azimuth and inclination of the receiver. In order to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm in an indoor space with dimensions of $6{\times}6{\times}3m$ where 16 LED lights are installed, we compare and analyze the errors of the conventional linear LSM-based trilateration technique and the proposed algorithm according to the changes in the inclination and azimuth of the receiver. The experimental results show that the location accuracy of the proposed algorithm is improved by 82.5% compared to the conventional LSM-based trilateration technique.

In determining the horizontal positions, economic, speedy, and accurate analytical adjustment methods have studied and developed for a long time. From now on, the adjustment methods using both angles and distances are expected because the development of more precise instruments, E.D.M, and electronic total station provide us with more advantages than the conventional measurement system. The objective of this paper is to study the characteristics of triangulation, trilateration, and combination method due to change of the weight factor of angles, distances, azimuthes, and control point coordinates of combined geodetic network. The results of this study show that combined method is more accurate and effective than other methods in case of combined geodetic network as the other simple networks.
