Unequal Weighting for Improved Positioning in GPS-Less Sensor Networks
Positioning can be done by means of triangulation in which triples of position-aware nodes estimate a neighbor’s position with the help of distances. If a larger number of nodes exist, multiple position estimates can be averaged to yield a more precise mean position. Rather than applying equal weights to each position estimate, we propose an unequal weighting scheme which emphasizes those summa...
متن کاملA GPS-less, outdoor, self-positioning method for wireless sensor networks
One challenging issue in sensor networks is to determine where a given sensor node is physically located. This problem is especially crucial for very small sensor nodes. This paper presents a GPS-less, outdoor, self-positioning method for wireless sensor networks. In our method, a set of nodes, called reference points (RPs), are deployed in the sensor network with overlapping regions of coverag...

Accurate positioning mechanisms are important in large scale sensor networks to achieve a number of functionalities like location aware routing, efficient coordination of resources and other application specific requirements. This paper proposes a distributed and scalable GPS free positioning algorithm for wireless sensor networks. This approach is an effort in the direction of finding a soluti...
متن کامل3D Path Planning Algorithm for Mobile Anchor-Assisted Positioning in Wireless Sensor Networks
Positioning service is one of Wireless Sensor Networks’ (WSNs) fundamental services. The accurate position of the sensor nodes plays a vital role in many applications of WSNs. In this paper, a 3D positioning algorithm is being proposed, using mobile anchor node to assist sensor nodes in order to estimate their positions in a 3D geospatial environment. However, mobile anchor node’s 3D path optim...
متن کاملA GPS-less Framework for Localization and Coverage Maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks
Sensing coverage is a fundamental issue for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Several coverage configuration protocols have been developed; most of them presume the availability of precise knowledge about each node location via GPS receivers. However, equipping each sensor node with a GPS is very expensive in terms of both energy and cost. On the other hand, several GPS-less localization algorit...
