3D Map-based Trajectory Design in UAV-aided Wireless Localization Systems

This article considers the problem of localizing outdoor ground radio users with the help of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the basis of received signal strength (RSS) measurements in an urban environment. We assume that the propagation model parameters are not known a priori, and depending on the UAV location, the UAV-user link can experience either Line-of-Sight (LoS) or Non-Line-of-Sight (...
