An Indoor Localization System Using Wirelessly Synchronized TDOA

For wireless indoor localization systems, time synchronization between base stations is required to obtain high precision localization results. Therefore, a time synchronization scheme utilizing wireless signals is proposed. Firstly, a localization measurement model is established and the principle of localization is analyzed. Based on the localization principle analysis, a wireless time synchronization scheme between base stations and a fixed deviation correction method are proposed. Then the time difference of arrival (TDOA) localization algorithm and its improvement method for special use cases are derived. Finally, detailed design and implementation scheme of the localization system are given. Experimental results in real environments show that the proposed scheme is capable of synchronizing base stations using wireless signals and generates accurate localization results.
