Abstract

Passive localization plays a vital role in both military and civilian applications due to its high concealment and long-range detection capabilities. However, traditional two-step localization methods suffer from error accumulation and sub-optimal performance, especially in low-signal to noise ratio (SNR) scenarios. To address these issues, this paper proposes a distributed direct position determination (DDPD) method based on optimal sensor selection in wireless sensor networks. The method minimizes the trace of the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) to select the most effective sensor nodes, thereby enhancing localization accuracy and reducing system overhead. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method offers improved positioning accuracy while reducing both communication and computational overhead.
