文摘脉冲超宽带(impulse radio ultra wide band,IR-UWB)测距定位系统中,信号的非视距(non-line-of-sight,NLOS)传播检测及在定位算法中给予误差矫正是提升定位性能的主要方法。为此提出了一种基于信道统计量(channel statistic information,CSI)——峭度(kurtosis,K)和均方根时延扩展(root mean square delay spread,RMS)联合似然比检验(Likelihood ratio test,LRT)区分NLOS状态的算法。该算法首先对IEEE802.15.4a信道的K和RMS的概率分布进行建模,作为标准信道分布;然后对信道的瞬间分布和标准分布的KL散度做LRT检测信道状态。最后利用信道检测结果,提出了一种基于LRT的Taylor(LRT-Taylor)定位算法。仿真结果表明:K和RMS联合的LRT检测法鉴别所有UWB信道环境都有较高的准确率;在移动端(mobile terminal,MT)与锚点(anchor node,AN)间为较复杂的NLOS环境时,LRT-Taylor算法也能获得较高的定位精度。
