Abstract

In this work, performance aspects of a high-precision radiolocation system are evaluated. An integrated simulation environment is introduced, which allows the co-evaluation of both physical layer parameters, such as measurement error, as well as network-related performance figures like the time-to-fix and throughput. Simulation results for different strategies and algorithms are presented and analyzed for their practicability.
