Abstract

Time synchronization is the guarantee of normal operation of wireless sensor networks, and it is the premise of ranging and location. At present, most researches focus on joint time synchronization and location of non-moving targets, while there are few types of research on joint time synchronization and location of moving targets. Therefore in this paper, under the condition that the time synchronization of the moving target is not carried out, and the information measurement means such as the speed and position of the moving target are not available. We established the system model of joint time synchronization and location with the help of the anchor nodes whose clock has been synchronized and location is known, and derived the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the system. Then we proposed the two-step least square method and iterative method. The former has lower computation and suboptimal performance, while the latter has higher time synchronization accuracy and positioning accuracy, which can attain CRLB. The results are verified by simulation.
