A Wireless Gps Wristwatch Tracking Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TIDGET® is a low power GPS tracking device that is being developed by NAVSYS under contract to the US Army. This TIDGET tracking device uses a client/server approach to send raw GPS sampled data to the TIDGET Location Server through a wireless data link. The TIDGET Location Server is based on a Software Defined Radio architecture and uses a GPS waveform application to process the GPS sampled data and compute a position fix for the device. The TIDGET is packaged in a wristwatch form factor with a ZigBee data link for ultra low power operation. The TIDGET tracking device can operate for a period of over 30 days from the wristwatch battery. This paper will outline the concept of operations and the TIDGET system architecture, as well as highlight the latest test results showing the system performance.

متن کاملEcoLocate: A heterogeneous wireless network system for wildlife tracking
All research to date using wireless networks for wildlife tracking has concentrated on monitoring a single species, using large GPS enabled collars. These collars are too heavy to attach on smaller animals. Rather than omit small animals from the tracking spectrum, we show how a fusion of GPS tracking (where applicable) and an improved version of VHF tracking can result in a system which is abl...
متن کاملA Room-Based Localization System Using Wireless Triggers and Pattern Matching Techniques
With the increasing number of LBS applications in the mobile computing, location tracking has been attracted much attention recently. In outdoor environments, GPS already provides a satisfactory solution for location tracking. However, a globally usable solution is still missing in indoor environments. This paper proposes a room-based localization system using wireless triggers and pattern-matc...

In this paper, we describe the development of the software algorithms required to interpret sensor data developed by a wearable miniaturized wireless inertial measurement unit (IMU) to enable tracking of movement Traditionally, inertial tracking has involved the use of off the shelf motion sensors in the form of an inertial measurement unit, in combination with a GPS based receiver system for i...
متن کاملTarget Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks
One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...
