Minimum Norm Multidimensional Scaling Solution for Mobile Station Localization in Wireless Sensors Network

Mobile station (MS) localization which plays an important role in the process of target continuous localization has received considerable attention. In this paper, a novel multidimensional scaling (MDS) method based on Minimum norm solution is proposed for passive emitter location in wireless networks. It is shown that the proposed approach is a generalization of the mobile localization method based on multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis. Through computer simulations, we can see that the proposed algorithm has a better performance compared with classic MDS and subspace algorithms in time of arrival (TOA) measurements.
