Current bias compensation methods for distributed localization consider the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) measurements noise, but ignore the negative influence by the sensor location uncertainties on source localization accuracy. Therefore, a new bias compensation method for distributed localization is proposed to improve the localization accuracy in this paper. This paper derives the theoretical bias of maximum likelihood estimation when the sensor location errors and positioning measurements noise both exist. Using the rough estimate result by MLE to subtract the theoretical bias can obtain a more accurate source location estimation. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the theoretical bias derived in this paper matches well with the actual bias in moderate noise level so that it can prove the correctness of the theoretical derivation. Furthermore, after bias compensation, the estimate accuracy of the proposed method achieves a certain improvement compared with existing methods.
