RF-based Device-Free Localization and Tracking for Ambient Assisted Living
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radio frequency (RF) sensor networks are wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which use only the received signal strength (RSS) to perform tasks such as device-free localization (DFL) and tracking of individuals. In these systems, people to be located do not participate in the localization effort by carrying any radio device or sensor. Instead, a static deployed wireless network measures RSS on its links and locates people based on the variations caused by the movements of people in the monitored area. In this paper, we present features and functioning of an RF sensor network deployed in a home for indoor localization and tracking for ambient assisted living (AAL). Our system is composed of low-power IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers, operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, that collect and process RSS data in real-time and estimate the locations of people over time.

Received-signal-strength-based (RSS-based) device-free localization (DFL) is a promising technique since it is able to localize the person without attaching any electronic device. This technology requires measuring the RSS of all links in the network constituted by several radio frequency (RF) sensors. It is an energy-intensive task, especially when the RF sensors work in traditional work mode,...

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is an emergent area that provides useful mechanisms that allows tracking elders through opportunistic sensoring, for example, using mobile devices. In that sense, it is necessary a permanent attention to these people by caregivers and relatives and a growing necessity to create mechanism to support this task. In our proposal, we have a network of caregivers that wo...
