This invention discloses a semi-blind direct localization method for thermal
noise communication systems, comprising: based on the
frequency domain received
signal model of the thermal
noise communication
system, utilizing the statistical characteristics of the received
signal to construct a maximum likelihood
estimation problem concerning the
mobile station position and channel
fading coefficient, obtaining an objective function containing logarithmic
determinant terms and trace function terms of a matrix; the objective function simultaneously includes a contribution from
pilot power and an expected contribution from the power of the received
data signal; using an optimization
minimization algorithm framework, alternately solving for the
mobile station position and channel
fading coefficient until a preset convergence condition is met, obtaining the localization result; wherein, by constructing a substitution function containing the statistical characteristics of blind pilots and data, a closed-
form solution for the channel parameters is derived in each iteration, and the
mobile station position is updated through a two-dimensional grid search. This invention mines the statistical information of the data portion, effectively improving the
utilization rate of the received
signal and increasing the localization accuracy under low signal-to-
noise ratio conditions.
