This thesis presents mobile positioning and tracking with non-line of sight (NLOS) mitigation using time difference of arrival (TDOA) in biased extended Kalman filter (BEKF) in indoor dense multipath Ultra-Wideband (UWB) environment. The most serious issues which render to influence accuracy for the time-based location system is NLOS problem. Kalman filters (KFs) are used for smoothing range measurement data, and a method with sliding window is proposed to process range data for calculating standard deviation in a hypothesis testing and then identifying NLOS scenarios. When the measured arrival time has been converted to range difference, the biased extended Kalman filter is proposed to mitigate the NLOS error in the certain base stations (BSs) for mobile station (MS) positioning and trajectory tracking. From the simulation results in the indoor positioning environment with measurement and NLOS error, the sliding window algorithm and biased extended Kalman filter have higher accuracy than other related methods for NLOS identification and mitigation in positioning.
