Source localization is an important field of research and the received signal strength (RSS)based method is of particular interest. Further, by exploiting the sparsity of localization problem, the compressive sensing (CS) can be applied to considerably decrease the number of RSS measurements, especially in multi-source scenario. However, most existing CS-based localization methods usually neglect some practical issues. In particular, the sensor positions are assumed be known exactly, while in practice they may not be accurate. Additionally, a uniform Gaussian noise assumption is made that the noise variances of sensors are identical, but in practice the noise should be nonuniform. When these assumptions are violated, the localization performance will deteriorate dramatically. To address such issues, in this paper, we formulate the source localization based on superimposed RSS measurements as a sparse signal recovery problem. Moreover, by regarding the sensor positions as adjustable parameters, the inaccurate sensor positions can be refined through the adjustment of parameters. Following this idea, we develop a novel iterative algorithm for joint signal recovery and parameter optimization based on the variational expectation-maximization algorithm. Consequently, the sensor position uncertainty can be alleviated and thus the signal recovery performance will be improved greatly. Meanwhile, it is also capable of learning the variance of nonuniform noise. Extensive simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
