TALA component

Details

AOA/DDOA intersections (Step 1)

Based on measurements at only five sensors, only DDOAs satisfying Eq. (34) are used, with γ=2

N-R approach to determine DDOA intersections (Step 1)

10 attempts allowed: attempt #1 initialises with the corresponding AOA intersection, subsequent attempts use random starting locations

Measurement association (Step 2)

Gate threshold, ξ=10−3 (scenarios 1-2) gate threshold, ξ=10−2 (scenarios 3)

Intersection downselection (Step 3)

Only consider intersections for which the total number of associated measurements is no smaller than N P d /2

G-N approach for ML estimation (Step 4)

Determine overall likelihood for step sizes of ±20%, ±40%, ±60%, ±80%, and ±100% of the Newton step (i.e. m=5)

 

If no step increases the overall likelihood, consider a step of magnitude 200 m (i.e. =δ M ) in a random direction

 

Stop iterating if the procedure above has attempted a total of 20 random steps, or each component of the GNSSE F(X k ) Σ −1×[Zf(X k )] has a magnitude smaller than 10−3

 

Reassociation is only performed during gradient descent in scenario 3
