AbstractThis ITR proposal focuses on developing wireless systems capable of positioningmobiles remotely in complex mobile environments that are encountered in emergingapplications, such as homeland security, law enforcement, defense command and control,multi-robot coordination, and traffic alert such as vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestriancollision avoidance. The proposed wireless local positioning system (WLPS)has two main components: 1) a base station deployed in a mobile (e.g., vehicles, robots orhandhelds) that serves as a Dynamic Base Station (DBS); and 2) a transponder (TRX)installed in wireless mobile handhelds, robots and vehicles that act as Active Targets.Such a framework offers attractive features including high probability-of-detectionperformance, low-cost transceiver designs and infrastructure-less operation.The intellectual merit of the proposed activity is to initiate a multi-disciplinary effort toaddress the key challenges in wireless mobile positioning with seamless networkconnectivity. Based on the DBS-TRX structure, various wireless communications andnetworking technologies will be exploited to establish a paradigm of contiguous,accurate and mobility-aware positioning with non line-of-sight coverage. In addition, alaboratory will be set up to provide a cost-effective tool to test and evaluate wirelesspositioning schemes in simulated practical environments, as well as to assess the impactsof WLPS on location-critical tasks such as wireless sensor network cooperation androuting.The broader impacts of the proposed activity benefit location-dependent applications thatare critical to human welfare but hindered by the restrictive operation conditions ofcurrent positioning systems. WLPS has multiple potential applications that would benefitsociety, ranging from improved localization technology for national and homelandsecurity (NHS) to economic prosperity (ASE) with better highway safety for both driversand pedestrians. The laboratory developed will serve as an educational test bed forengineering students and researchers. With its broad range of applications, its richtechnical components and multi-disciplinary nature, the proposed WLPS research willhelp promote the integration of research with education and outreach activities at alllevels.

摘要ITR提案着重于开发能够在复杂的移动环境中远程定位的无线系统，这些移动环境中遇到的复杂移动环境（例如国土安全措施，执法，防御命令和控制，多机器人协调），以及诸如车辆到车辆与车辆对车辆和车辆对佩皮斯特里安环境的避免。拟议的无线本地定位系统（WLP）具有两个主要组件：1）部署在移动设备（例如车辆，机器人Orhandhelds）中的基站，该基站用作动态基础站（DBS）； 2）在无线移动手持式，机器人和车辆中安装的一个应答器（TRX），这些框架提供了有吸引力的功能，包括高概率实验性的可能性，低成本的转换器设计和无基础设施的设计和无基础设施的操作 - 提议的活动的智力优点是无效的努力启动了一项无线努力的努力竞争，启动了毫无疑问的挑战。基于DBS-TRX结构，将利用各种无线通信和网络技术来建立与非视线覆盖范围的连续，准确和移动性的定位范式。 In addition, alaboratory will be set up to provide a cost-effective tool to test and evaluate wirelesspositioning schemes in simulated practical environments, as well as to assess the impactsof WLPS on location-critical tasks such as wireless sensor network cooperation androuting.The broader impacts of the proposed activity benefit location-dependent applications thatare critical to human welfare but hindered by the restrictive operation conditions ofcurrent positioning systems. WLP具有多种潜在的应用，可以使邻国受益，从改进的国家和祖国安全（NHS）到经济繁荣（ASE）（ASE），并为两位驾驶员提供更好的高速公路安全。开发的实验室将作为工程学学生和研究人员的教育测试床。拟议的WLPS研究将凭借其广泛的应用，其Richtechnical组成部分和多学科性质，Willhelp将促进研究与Alllevels的教育和外展活动的融合。
