Abstract

Traditional centralized direct localization methods require the transmission of the complete baseband signal to the fusion center (FC) for target localization. Due to the limited communication bandwidth as well as energy required in transmission, this centralized framework is not suitable for largescale sensor networks. This paper proposes an information-driven decentralized direct localization framework. Firstly, a maximum-likelihood position estimator, based on the Gauss-Newton method, is derived. Then, a decentralized implementation framework is constructed. At its core, there is no dedicated FC while the sensors transmit information to their neighboring nodes only through single hops, achieving target localization through iterative processes based on the concept of consensus. Simulation results confirm the stability and robustness of the proposed method in different scenarios.
