In wireless sensor networks, the positioning scheme using the received signal strength (RSS) has been widely considered due to its simplicity. Appropriate estimation of path-loss exponent (PLE) between a sensor node and an anchor node plays a key role in reducing position error in this RSS-based positioning. In the conventional researches, a sensor node directly uses the PLEs given by its neighboring...
Indoor WLAN based positioning system required the use of a Radio-map to make the current received signal strength related to specific locations. However, the signal strength measurements are time consuming and expensive. This paper presents a Radio-map interpolating algorithm and compares the localization accuracy of measured Radio-map with interpolated Radio-map. The results presented that, although...
Severe received signal strength (RSS) fluctuation is one of the crucial problems in an indoor positioning system using fingerprint-based algorithms. Even at a fixed location, the RSSs received by a mobile device at different time have large discrepancy. Adopting these fluctuated signals for positioning may lead to inaccurate results. To mitigate this problem, in this paper, any of the existing fingerprint-based...
Localization is an important and extensively studied problem in wireless ad hoc networks. The process of position discovery can be realized utilizing range measurements including received signal strength, time of arrival or angle of arrival. We focus on localization method based on angle of arrival information between neighbor nodes. This paper proposes an original positioning algorithm to improve...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) enables accurate Localization and Tracking (LT) applications. However, the required and sophisticated time of arrival (ToA) ranging procedure relies on accurate synchronization and time measurements. Today, only few UWB devices support the required ranging feature. Examples are pulse based low data rate (LDR) UWB devices. Conventional multiband OFDM based high data rate (HDR)...
Recently, localization in wireless networks has gained a lot of interest; especially after some of the most interesting positioning application areas have emerged in wireless communications. The most important are the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the European Recommendation E112, both of which require that wireless providers should be able to locate within tens of meters users of emergency...
In this paper, we propose a modified incremental subgradient (MIG) algorithm with a variable step size for positioning and tracking a target in wireless sensor networks. The proposed positioning scheme formulates location estimation as a nonlinear least-squares problem using the received signal strength, and then applies the MIG algorithm with a fixed step size to solve the problem. This scheme can...
