Abstract:

This paper considers location methods that are applicable in global positioning systems (GPS), wireless sensor networks (WSN), and cellular communication systems. The approach is to employ the resilient backpropagation (Rprop), an artificial neural network learning algorithm, to compute weighted geometric dilution of precision (WGDOP), which represents the geometric effect on the relationship between measurement error and positioning error. The original four kinds of input-output mapping based on BPNN for GDOP calculation are extended to WGDOP based on Rprop. In addition, we propose two novel Rprop–based architectures to approximate WGDOP. To further reduce the complexity of our approach, the first is to select the serving BS and then combines it with three other measurements to estimate MS location. As such, the number of subsets is reduced greatly without compromising the location estimation accuracy. We further employed another Rprop that takes the higher precision MS locations of the first several minimum WGDOPs as the inputs into consideration to determine the final MS location estimation. This method can not only eliminate the poor geometry effects but also significantly improve the location accuracy.
