چکیده
Many ad hoc network protocols and applications assume the knowledge of geographic location of nodes. The absolute location of each networked node is an assumed fact by most sensor networks which can then present the sensed information on a geographical map. Finding location without the aid of GPS in each node of an ad hoc network is important in cases where GPS is either not accessible, or not practical to use due to power, form factor or line of sight conditions. Location would also enable routing in sufficiently isotropic large networks, without the use of large routing tables. We are proposing APS – a distributed, hop by hop positioning algorithm, that works as an extension of both distance vector routing and GPS positioning in order to provide approximate location for all nodes in a network where only a limited fraction of nodes have self location capability.

متن کاملUsing a Cell-based WLAN Infrastructure Design for Resource-effective and Accurate Positioning
A large scale WLAN infrastructure requires the placement of many thousands of access points (APs). The current approach is to deploy these in an empirical and ad-hoc manner. However, this deployment results in poor resource utilization and inaccurate positioning due to signal overlap and black spots. In this paper, we propose three structured approaches to WLAN infrastructure deployment that wo...
متن کاملAd Hoc Positioning System (APS) Using AOA
– AoA(Angle of Arrival) is a well known method used for positioning in providing services such as E911, and for other military and civil radio-location applications, such as sonars and radars. Although devices such as GPS receivers and digital compasses provide good positioning and orientation outdoors, there are many applications requiring the same facilities indoors, where line of sight acces...

متن کاملThe Design Concept of U-Guide Ubiquitous Learning System
A ubiquitous learning system enables people to learn at any time, at any place and in any form. In particular, it has the context awareness property to provide learners the right information in the right place and at the right time. In this paper, we introduce the design concept for a ubiquitous learning system, U-Guide (Ubiquitous Guide) System. U-Guide integrates two existing technologies, Ad...
