Abstract :
A positioning system is presented, which is based on wireless transceivers capable of measuring time of flight. As raw measurements still suffer from distortion and environmentally caused noise, mathematical tools are employed to significantly improve the quality and accuracy of positioning in realtime. Implementation results and simulation of larger scale networks show a very promising bounded error limit of positioning.
