About this ebook

The desire for precise knowledge about the location of a moving object at any time instant has motivated a great deal of scientific research recently. This is owing to a steady expansion of the range of enabling devices and technologies, as well as the need for seamless solutions for location-based services. Besides localization accuracy, a common requirement for emerging solutions is that they are cost-abstemious, both in terms of the financial and computational cost. Hence, development of localization strategies from already deployed technologies, e.g., from different terrestrial radio frequency sources is of great practical interest. Amongst other, these include localization strategies based on received signal strength (RSS), time of arrival, angle of arrival (AoA) or a combination of them.

RSS-AoA-based Target Localization and Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks presents recent advances in developing algorithms for target localization and tracking, reflecting the state-of-the-art algorithms and research achievements in target localization and tracking based on hybrid (RSS-AoA) measurements.

Technical topics discussed in the book include:Centralized RSS-AoA-based Target LocalizationDistributed RSS-AoA-based Target LocalizationRSS-AoA-based Target Tracking via Maximum A Posteriori EstimatorRSS-AoA-based Target Tracking via Kalman Filter RSS-AoA-based via Sensor Navigation

This book is of interest for personnel in telecommunications and surveillance industries, military, smart systems, as well as academic staff and postgraduate/research students in telecommunications, signal processing, and non-smooth and convex optimization.

About the author

Slavisa Tomic received the M.S. degree in trafﬁc engineering according to the postal trafﬁc and telecommunications study program from University of Novi Sad, Serbia in 2010, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from University Nova of Lisbon, Portugal in 2017. His research interests include target localization in wireless sensor networks and non-linear and convex optimization.

Marko Beko was born in Belgrade, Serbia, on November 11, 1977. He received the Dipl. Eng. degree from the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia, in 2001 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal, in 2008. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e
Tecnologias, Portugal. He is also a Researcher at the UNINOVA, Campus da FCT/UNL, Monte de Caparica, Portugal. His current research interests are in the area of signal processing for wireless communications and nonsmooth and convex optimization. He serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Access Journal and Elsevier Journal on Physical Communication. He was awarded a Starting Grant under the Investigador FCT programme of the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation in 2016. He is the winner of the 2008 IBM Portugal Scientiﬁc Award.

Rui Dinis received the Ph.D. degree from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2001 and the Habilitation in Telecommunications from Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT), Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL), in 2010. From 2001 to 2008 he was a Professor at IST. Currently he is an associated professor at FCT-UNL. During 2003 he was an invited professor at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. He was a researcher at CAPS (Centro de Análise e Processamento de Sinal), IST, from 1992 to 2005 and a researcher at ISR (Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica) from 2005 to 2008. Since 2009 he is a researcher at IT (Instituto de Telecomunicações).
Rui Dinis is editor at IEEE Transactions on Communications (Transmission Systems - Frequency-Domain Processing and Equalization) since 2012 and editor at IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology since 2015. He was also a guest editor for Elsevier Physical Communication (Special Issue on Broadband Single-Carrier Transmission Techniques). Rui Dinis was TPC chair of the IEEE ICT'2014. He has been actively involved in several international
research projects in the broadband wireless communications area.
