Abstract :
This work analyzes the impact of medium access control (MAC) layer on the performance of real-time cooperative positioning in ad-hoc mobile wireless networks. The probability mass function (pmf) of the latency introduced by the MAC layer is here derived to assess the influence of MAC parameters on the latency and then operate on those to improve the positioning performance while reducing the number of position estimation iterations.
