Error Analysis of Localization Based on Minimum-Error Entropy With Fiducial Points
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Localization has been a well-investigated problem in the past decade for several networks and is one of the most celebrated applications of adaptive signal processing. However, existing localization algorithms exhibit a significant degradation under non-line of sight (NLOS) conditions, especially in outdoor scenarios. Due to the inherent non-Gaussianity in the NLOS returns, generic mitigation of the degradations due to NLOS remains quite an open challenge. In this regard, information-theoretic learning (ITL) criteria are attractive due to their ability to adapt to arbitrary NLOS distributions and suppress NLOS-induced non-Gaussian processes. In this regard, this letter proposes the use of minimum error entropy with Fiducial points (MEE-FP) in the particular context of round-trip time of arrival (RTTOA) based localization. From the presented simulations, it is observed that the proposed MEE-FP based localization method delivers lower variance under severe NLOS conditions and is closer to the ideal maximum-likelihood solution than contemporary ITL based approaches. Lastly, analytical variance-expressions are derived for the proposed localization technique, which is validated by computer simulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
