According to the asynchronous transmission of data for the SINS/WSN integrated positioning system, this paper proposes a novel asynchronous data fusion method using Unscented Kalman Filter for SINS/WSN integrated positioning system based on indoor mobile target. The state equation of the integrated system is built with the motion characteristic of mobile target. The pseudo measurement equation is built based on the time sequence of SINS/WSN measured value through detecting the measurement of WSN in every fusion period. Considering that the improved state-space model, comprised of the state equation and pseudo measurement equation, is the nonlinear equations, the Unscented Kalman Filter is applied to estimate the state value of the state-space model. Hence the asynchronous data fusion method for SINS/WSN integrated positioning system can be achieved. Simulation results and experimental tests show that the positioning system with proposed asynchronous data fusion algorithm performs feasibility and stability under circumstances of the asynchronous time, and it is superior to the traditional asynchronous data fusion and synchronous data fusion methods.
