560 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 4, NO. 2, MARCH 2005 Nonline-of-Sight Error Mitigation in Mobile Location Li Cong, Student Member, IEEE and Weihua Zhuang, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— The location of mobile terminals has received consid- NLOS corrupted measurements only consist of a small portion erable attention in the recent years. The performance of mobile lo- of the total measurements. Since NLOS corrupted measure- cation systems is limited by errors primarily caused by nonline-of- ments are inconsistent with line-of-sight (LOS) expectations, sight (NLOS) propagation conditions. We investigate the NLOS error identification and correction techniques for mobile user loca- they can be treated as outliers. Similar to the global positioning tion in wireless cellular systems. Based on how much a priori knowl- system (GPS) failure detection algorithm in [16], measurement edge of the NLOS error is available, two NLOS mitigation algo- errors are first assumed to be Gaussian noise only, then the least rithms are proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that with the square residuals are examined to determine if NLOS errors are prior information database, the location estimate can be obtained present [8], [9], [12]. Unfortunately, this approach fails to work with good accuracy even in severe NLOS propagation conditions. when multiple NLOS BSs are present, as the outliers tend to Index Terms—Angle of arrival (AOA), mobile location, non- bias the final estimate precision to reduce the residuals.
