Simple solution to the optimal deployment of cooperative nodes in two-dimensional TOA-based and AOA-based localization system

Cellular-based cooperative communication is a promising technique that allows cooperation among mobile devices not only to increase data throughput but also to improve localization services. For a certain number of cooperative nodes, the geometry plays a significant role in enhancing the accuracy of target. In this paper, a simple solution to the deployment of cooperative nodes aiming at the lowest geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) is proposed suitable for both time of arrival-based cooperative localization system and angle of arrival-based cooperative localization system. Inertia dependence factor is suggested to reveal the relationship among the optimal positions of each cooperative node, which extracts the inertia and the recursiveness of deployment. It is shown in simulations that the proposed solution almost achieves the same GDOP as that of global exclusive method but with less complexity.
