Robust and Scalable Techniques for TWR and TDoA based localization using Ultra Wide Band Radios
英文摘要：
Current trends in autonomous vehicles and their applications indicates an increasing need in positioning at low battery and compute cost. Lidars provide accurate localization at the cost of high compute and power consumption which could be detrimental for drones. Modern requirements for autonomous drones such as No-Permit-No-Takeoff (NPNT) and applications restricting drones to a corridor require the infrastructure to constantly determine the location of the drone. Ultra Wide Band Radios (UWB) fulfill such requirements and offer high precision localization and fast position update rates at a fraction of the cost and battery consumption as compared to lidars and also have greater network availability than GPS in a dense forested campus or an indoor setting. We present in this paper a novel protocol and technique to localize a drone for such applications using a Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) approach. This further increases the position update rates without sacrificing on accuracy and compare it to traditional methods
