A new algorithm for receiver/transmitter localization on the plane

We propose a new receiver/transmitter localization algorithm, which we test under various topologies in order to determine the optimal one. We then compare its performance against the top performing previously published algorithm, and conclude that the proposed algorithm is more accurate.
