A Lagrangian Multiplier Method for TDOA and FDOA Positioning of Multiple Disjoint Sources with Distance and Velocity Correlation Constraints

Table 2

Process of proposed algorithm.

Initialization and Input:
, initial value for Newton’s iteration.
, TDOA and FDOA measurements.
, positive multiplier vector.

, positive penalty parameter which are fixed in iteration.
, the maximum number of iterations.( in this paper)
, initial step for iterations, attenuation factor.
, threshold, a sufficiently small and positive value ( in this paper).

Preparation:
, initialize the value for comparison and save gradient vector and hessian matrix .

Iteration process:
For:
Step 1: Update the estimate by
and turn to step 2.
Step 2: if , renew , and update the multipliers by using (42), then , record the updated and , turn to step 4.
Step 3: if , , then
, turn to step 4.
Step 4: when , output , otherwise, turn to step 1.
End

Output: as the optimal solution
