In these cases, agent-to-agent measurements also need to be considered to improve the localization quality. In the context of particle filtering, the computational complexity of tracking many wireless agents is high when relying on conventional schemes. This is because in such schemes, all agents\u2019 states are estimated simultaneously using a single filter. To overcome this problem, the concept of multiple particle filtering (MPF), in which an individual filter is used for each agent, has been proposed in the literature. However, due to the necessity of considering agent-to-agent measurements, additional effort is required to derive information on each individual filter from the available likelihoods. This is necessary because the distance and bearing measurements naturally depend on the states of two agents, which, in MPF, are estimated by two separate filters. Because the required likelihood cannot be analytically derived in general, an approximation is needed. To this end, this work extends current state-of-the-art likelihood approximation techniques based on Gaussian approximation under the assumption that the number of agents to be tracked is fixed and known. Moreover, a novel likelihood approximation method is proposed that enables efficient and accurate tracking. The simulations show that the proposed method achieves up to 22% higher accuracy with the same computational complexity as that of existing methods. Thus, efficient and accurate tracking of wireless agents is achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13634-019-0643-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,7]],"date-time":"2019-11-07T14:03:28Z","timestamp":1573135408000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Multiple particle filtering for tracking wireless agents via Monte Carlo likelihood approximation"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2019","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5660-2922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephan","family":"Schlupkothen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gerd","family":"Ascheid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"15","key":"643_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4102","DOI":"10.1109\/TSP.2015.2422685","volume":"63","author":"Stephan Schlupkothen","year":"2015","unstructured":"S.
