Abstract
A smart anchor-based position estimation method and apparatus are disclosed. The position estimation method, performed by a position estimation apparatus, includes: identifying one or more line-of-sight (LOS) anchors from among one or more anchors mounted in a vehicle; selecting reference anchors from among the one or more LOS anchors; and estimating a position of a tag based on a number of the reference anchors. The reference anchors are selected based on a rate of formation of an ultra-wideband (UWB) link to the tag and accuracy of the estimated position of the tag.
