Abstract

UWB, as an emerging carrierless communication technology, has become a hot area in indoor positioning research. This paper introduces the principles, advantages and disadvantages of current mainstream UWB positioning algorithms, including arrival time positioning, arrival time difference positioning, arrival angle positioning, positioning based on signal reception strength and some UWB fusion positioning methods, starting from the concept of UWB technology, and briefly explains the factors affecting indoor positioning accuracy.

Keywords
