We present a novel time-based positioning scheme (TPS) for efficient location discovery in outdoor sensor networks. TPS relies on TDoA (time-difference-of-arrival) of RF signals measured locally at to detect range differences from the three base stations. These are averaged over multiple beacon intervals before they combined estimate through trilateration. A nice feature this is that it purely localized: sensors independently compute their positions. statistical analysis performance noisy...
