Previous studies [Tiemann et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 120, 2355-2365 (2006)] have reported the localization of marine mammals in 3-D from their clicks using multipath arrivals. Bathymetric variations were advantageously used to predict multipath arrival times with a raytracer. These arrivals are directly discernible from the time series for impulsive sources, such as whale clicks, but extension of the method to continuous broadband sources presents additional complications. By pulse compressing noise emitted from a small boat using two hydrophones, the hyperbolic direct-arrival ambiguity can be refined in both range and bearing. Acoustic-derived results are validated with target GPS measurements.

Localization accuracy in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios is often hindered by the complex nature of multipath propagation. Traditional approaches typically focus on NLOS node identification and error mitigation techniques. However, the intricacies of NLOS localization are intrinsically tied to propagation challenges.

An acoustic propagation experiment was conducted in the western continental shelf of India (off Kollam, Kerala) in water depth of ∼71 m with seafloor consisting of hard sandy sediments. The multipath arrival times are obtained from peaks in acoustic impulse response measurements made on a single hydrophone for two source-receiver ranges of 245 m and 320 m. The arrival times are used for inverting the water column sound speed profile (SSP) utilizing the empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs), which can completely describe large datasets.

Recently, indoor positioning has been one of the hot topics in the field of navigation and positioning. Among different solutions on indoor positioning, positioning with acoustic signals has its promise due to its relatively high accuracy in the line of sight scenarios, low cost, and ease of being implemented in smartphones. In this work, a novel acoustic positioning method, called RATBILS, is proposed, in which encoded chirp acoustic signals are modulated and transmitted by different acoustic base stations.

In this paper, we propose a new data-aided (DA) joint angle and delay (JADE) maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. The latter consists of a substantially modified and, hence, significantly improved gray wolf optimization (GWO) technique by fully integrating and embedding within it the powerful importance sampling (IS) concept. This new approach, referred to hereafter as GWOEIS (for "GWO embedding IS"), guarantees global optimality, and offers higher resolution capabilities over orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) (i.

Article Synopsis
- Underwater wireless sensor networks face challenges in node positioning accuracy due to factors like tidal motion, ocean currents, and multipath effects.
- To enhance positioning accuracy for moving nodes, a method based on a tidal motion model is introduced, leveraging Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization optimized by niche genetic algorithms.
- Simulation results show this new algorithm outperforms traditional methods (like the Chan and Taylor algorithms) in accuracy, and real-time updates using a Kalman filter help ensure that predicted positions closely match actual ones, meeting application needs.
