Abstract:
This work presents an approach for radio-based localization in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments by leveraging a dual-polarization antenna array. By estimating the polarization of the received signal, it is possible to estimate the angle of reflection of a NLOS signal. An estimate of the position of the transmitter concerning the receiver can be obtained based on a joint estimation of the reflection angle of several NLOS signals together with their respective directions of arrival (DOAs) and time differences of arrival (TDOAs). A set of numerical simulations is used to assess the performance of the proposed method.
