Zusammenfassung:The positioning accuracy of a ground-based system in an indoor environment is closely related to the geometric configuration of pseudolites. This paper presents a simple closed-form equation for computing the weighted horizontal dilution of precision (WHDOP) with four eigenvalues, which can reduce the amount of calculation. By comparing the result of WHDOP with traditional matrix inversion operation, the effectiveness of WHDOP of the proposed simple calculation method is analyzed. The proposed WHDOP has a linear relationship with the actual static positioning result error in an indoor environment proved by the Pearson analysis method. Twenty positioning points are randomly selected, and the positioning variance and WHDOP of each positioning point have been calculated. The correlation coefficient of WHDOP and the positioning variance is calculated to be 0.82. A pseudolite system layout method based on a simulated annealing algorithm is proposed by using WHDOP, instead of Geometric dilution of precision (GDOP). In this paper, the constraints of time synchronization are discussed. In wireless connection system, the distance between master station and slave station should be kept within a certain range. Specifically, for a given indoor scene, many positioning target points are randomly generated in this area by using the Monte Carlo method. The mean WHDOP value of all positioning points corresponding to the synchronous pseudolite layout is used as the objective function. The results of brute force search are compared with the method, which proves the accuracy of the new algorithm.
