Block Variational Bayesian Algorithm for Multiple Target Localization With Unknown and Time-Varying Transmit Powers in WSNs

Target localization is an important research field in wireless sensor networks and the received signal strength (RSS)-based method is of particular interest.Since traditional RSS-based method is invalid for simultaneously localizing multiple targets, the compressive sensing theory has been applied to develop an effective localization framework in r
