Abstract

The traditional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based localization and tracking method will lead to a notable performance reduction when the navigation signals are obstructed. In this paper, by utilizing the inherent benefits of UAVs, such as reliable line-of-sight (LoS) propagation and exceptional mobility, we employ the UAVs to achieve the seamless localization and tracking. Specifically, we first analytically derive distribution of noise for the vehicle-to-UAV (V2U) measurements. Subsequently, we provide a general distributed simultaneous localization and tracking (SLAT) method of the UAV involved network via non-parametric belief propagation (NBP) algorithm, where the UAVs and vehicles are located and tracked jointly. Numerical simulations shed light on the benefits of our proposed method in terms of localization and tracking accuracy.
