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：该 ITR 提案的重点是开发能够在复杂移动环境中远程定位移动设备的无线系统，这些环境是新兴应用中遇到的，例如国土安全、执法、国防指挥和控制、多机器人协调以及车辆对车辆等交通警报。以及避免车辆与行人碰撞。所提出的无线本地定位系统（WLPS）有两个主要组成部分：1）部署在移动设备（例如车辆、机器人或手持设备）中的基站，用作动态基站（DBS）； 2）安装在无线移动手持设备、机器人和车辆中作为主动目标的应答器（TRX）。这种框架提供了有吸引力的功能，包括高检测概率性能、低成本收发器设计和无基础设施操作。拟议活动的优点是发起多学科努力，以解决具有无缝网络连接的无线移动定位的关键挑战。基于DBS-TRX结构，将利用各种无线通信和网络技术来建立非视距覆盖的连续、精确和移动感知定位的范例。此外，还将设立实验室，提供一种经济高效的工具，在模拟实际环境中测试和评估无线定位方案，并评估WLPS对无线传感器网络协作和路由等位置关键任务的影响。拟议的活动有利于依赖位置的应用，这些应用对人类福祉至关重要，但受到当前定位系统的限制性操作条件的阻碍。 WLPS 具有多种造福社会的潜在应用，从改善国家和国土安全 (NHS) 的定位技术到经济繁荣 (ASE)，为驾驶员和行人提供更好的高速公路安全。开发的实验室将作为工程专业学生和研究人员的教育试验台。凭借其广泛的应用、丰富的技术成分和多学科性质，拟议的 WLPS 研究将有助于促进研究与各级教育和推广活动的结合。
