Abstract:

In short range communications, the use of RSS measurements in conjunction with TOA or TDOA leads to enhanced estimation accuracy with respect to the case where only TOA or TDOA are used. In this article, we derive the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) for location estimation accuracy of two different hybrid schemes: TOA/RSS and TDOA/RSS. For short ranges, the hybrid schemes offer improved accuracy, particularly in the proximity of the reference devices.
