Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-112). Location-awareness is essential for many wireless network applications. However, determining nodes' positions precisely is a challenging task, especially in harsh multipath propagation environments. To address this problem, wide bandwidth signals are envisioned to be used in future localization systems, since such signals can provide accurate range measurements. In this paper, we investigate the localization performance of wideband networks and proposed a performance measure called the squared position error bound (SPEB) to characterize the localization accuracy. We derive the SPEB succinctly by applying the notion of equivalent Fisher information (EFI). The EFI provides insights into the essence of localization problem by unifying the localization information from individual anchors and that from a priori knowledge of the agent's position in a canonical form. We also investigate the use of wideband antenna arrays and the effect of clock asynchronism on the localization accuracy. Our analysis begins with the received waveforms themselves rather than utilizing only signal metrics, such as time-of-arrival and received signal strength, extracted from the waveforms. Our framework exploits all the information inherent in the received waveforms, and therefore the SPEB serves as a fundamental limit of localization accuracy. by Yuan Shen.
