TDOA Source-Localization Technique Robust to Time-Synchronization Attacks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Marguerite Marie Nathalie Delcourt

In this paper, we focus on the localization of a passive source from time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. TDOA values are computed with respect to pairs of fixed sensors that are required to be accurately time-synchronized. This constitutes a we ...
