## Abstract (arXiv)

With the increasing demand for location-based services, localization technology research has recently intensified. Received signal strength (RSS)-based localization has the advantage of simplicity. However, as RSS-based localization requires the path-loss model parameters, it is difficult to use in place on which those parameters are unknown. In prior research, a transmitter localization algorithm with multiple stationary receivers was proposed for use under unknown path-loss exponent (PLE) conditions. However, if a mobile receiver is utilized, the localization would be possible with a single receiver alone. In this paper, we suggest a method of RSS-based LTE base station (BS) localization with a single mobile receiver when the PLE is unknown. We also propose an efficient mobile-receiver movement method to improve the PLE estimation and BS localization accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods.
