Firstly, the auxiliary variable is introduced to transform the nonlinear positioning equation into pseudo linear equation. Then the initial position of the target was estimated by two-stage weighted least squares, and the reference sensor was re-selected according to the initial estimation position. Finally, considering the noise of all the coefficients in the pseudo-linear equation and applying the Lagrangian multiplier to solve the constraint condition, an exact solution was obtained by using the quasi-Newton iterative formula. Simulations show that the proposed approach can reach the Cramér-Rao lower bound with strong robustness and precise positioning performance. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2017.03.017
