Abstract

Angle of arrival (AOA) and received signal strength (RSS) measurements have been commonly used in wireless localization due to easy access and simple implementation. In this paper, we investigate source localization using the AOA-only and hybrid RSS/AOA measurements, respectively. In AOA localization, we approximate the angle error using a range-related quantity. Then the optimization problem based on maximum likelihood (ML) is converted to a convex semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. In hybrid AOA/RSS localization, the ML estimator is decomposed into an RSS part and an AOA part. The AOA part follows a similar procedure as in the AOA localization. Taylor series expansion and relaxation are applied in optimizing the RSS part. These two parts are closely related through the range. The proposed methods avoid the nonconvexity in the original ML estimators for both AOA-only and hybrid AOA/RSS localization problems. Numerical examples show good performance of the proposed methods in both AOA and hybrid AOA/RSS localizations. They are close to or better than the LS methods in the literature.
