Abstract :
Two new closed form localization algorithms for multilateration systems are derived and analyzed. The derivation neglects the time difference of arrival in favor of the direct use of the time of arrival (TOA). The algorithms work for arbitrary spatial dimensions and overdetermined systems. A strategy for quick rejection of obviously false time measurements based on coding theory is also proposed.
