Improved RSSD-Based Source Localization With Unknown Sensor Position Errors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this letter, a received signal strength difference (RSSD) approach is presented to localize a source with unknown transmit power in the presence of sensor position errors. The performance of conventional least squares (LS) algorithms is degraded because they consider measurement errors rather than estimation errors. An algorithm is presented here to overcome this problem. First, a robust minimax mean squared error (MSE) estimator is developed based on the estimation error for bounded location estimation and sensor position errors to minimize the worst case sum of the variance and squared norm of the bias. This nonlinear problem is solved by transforming the nonconvex objective function into a convex optimization problem using the S-procedure, relaxation, and semidefinite programming. This problem is extended to the unknown path loss exponent case. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for convergence of the proposed RSSD convex relaxation of MSE semidefinite programming (RCRM-SDP) approach. Simulation results are presented which confirm the robustness of this method for sufficiently large signal to noise ratios (SNRs).

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.
