Abstract

This paper studies the Non-Line-Of-Sight condition mitigation issue in mobile subscriber positioning systems by weighting Time-Of-Arrival measures and applying geometrical restrictions. Particularly, this work departs from a more exact characterization of the signal statistics to achieve weighting factors able to reach a more effective mitigation, and consequently a more accurate mobile subscriber positioning. In addition, restrictions based on the cell geometry are incorporated as a complementary refinement method. Therefore, three new methods with better properties than those taken from the literature and used as reference are introduced. These approaches are evaluated within a realistic simulation scenario.
