Abstract

In this paper, we propose a factor-graph-based cooperative positioning algorithm that uses RSS radio measurements and accounts for the directivity of the antennas. This is achieved by modeling the directivity with a parametric antenna pattern and jointly estimating position and orientation of the agents. We propose two different approaches whereas the first one uses a continuous representation of the orientation state and the second one a discrete representation. We validate our proposed methods with simulations and measurements in a static sensor network with more than 900 agents in an indoor environment and show that the positioning accuracy can be improved significantly by considering the influence of orientations.
