CEN493 - Graduation project 2

Localization techniques. Position estimation using Time of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), and Angle of Arrival (AoA) measurements are the commonly used location techniques. These techniques, using location parameters received from different sources, are based on intersections of circles, hyperbolas, and lines, respectively. In addition, Triangular Convergence Location (TCL) technique is a geometric localization model used in cellular networks.

Phase 1: The work to be completed in CEN492

The first step consists of :

• Studying Bluetooth technology,
• Studying microcells environment,
• Discovering the related works achieved for localization and tracking,
• Proposing a suitable localization & tracking technique for short range environment.

Phase 2: The work to be completed in CEN493
To overcome various limitations of localization techniques, new model (proposed in phase 1) in order to simplify intensive and recursive computing of the localization process. It is useful to deploy a suitable implementation environment for acting on the execution time, cost, and therefore power consumption. In the phase 2, the students are requested to:
 

• Use Matlab as implementation environment,
• Design and implement of the proposed localization & tracking technique,
• Perform some experiments for wireless and mobile devices (fixed topology, dynamic topology),
• Analyze result and write report.
