摘要/Abstract：
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is simplest among various indoor localization methods. The main drawback is requiring a training phase to build fingerprints database, which is time consuming and sensitive to changes of test environment. Time based approaches such as Time of Arrival (ToA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) achieve better performance with some hardware expenditure, while location accuracy is significantly affected by multipath interference. By employing Super-resolution techniques (SRTs), multipath components can be estimated to improve localization precision, but limited to OFDM-based Multiple Input Multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Considering for general radio signals with strong correlation, we propose an enhanced TDoA approach based on RSS-assisted cross-correlation method. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective to mitigate multipath interference, verified by IEEE 802.11b WLAN. Compared with SRTs, our method achieves comparable localization precision, and has superiority in computational complexity and anti-noise performance.
