  2. Overview • Basic approaches • Trilateration • Multihop schemes

  3. Localization & positioning • Determine physical position or logical location • Coordinate system or symbolic reference • Absolute or relative coordinates • Metrics • Accuracy • Precision • Costs, energy consumption, … http://www.mathsisfun.com/accuracy-precision.html

  4. Main Approaches • Based on information source • Proximity • (Tri-/Multi-)lateration and angulation • Scene analysis • Radio environment has characteristic “signatures”

  5. Estimating Distances – RSSI • Compute distance from Received Signal Strength Indicator • Problem: Highly error-prone process PDF PDF Distance Signal strength Distance

  6. Estimating Distances – Others • Time of arrival (ToA) • Use time of transmission, propagation speed, time of arrival to compute distance • Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) • Use two different signals with different propagation speeds • Example: ultrasound and radio signal

  7. Determining Angles • Directional antennas • Multiple antennas • Measure time difference between receptions

  8. Range-Free Techniques • Overlapping connectivity • Approximate point in triangle

  9. Overview • Basic approaches • Trilateration • Multihop schemes

  10. (x2,y2) r2 r1 r3 (x1,y1) (xu,yu) (x3,y3) Trilateration • Assuming distances to three points with known location are exactly given • Solve system of equations

  11. Trilateration as Matrix Equation • Rewriting as a matrix equation: • Example: (x1, y1) = (2,1), (x2, y2) = (5,4), (x3, y3) = (8,2), r1 = 100.5 , r2 = 2, r3 = 3

  12. Trilateration with Distance Errors • What if only distance estimation ri' = ri + iavailable? • Use multiple anchors • Overdetermined system of equations • Use (xu, yu) that minimize mean square error, i.e,

  13. Minimize Mean Square Error • Look at derivative with respect to x, set it equal to 0:  Normal equation • Has unique solution (if A has full rank), which gives desired minimal mean square error

  14. Overview • Basic approaches • Trilateration • Multihop schemes

  15. Multihop Range Estimation • No direct radio communication exists • Idea 1: Count number of hops, assume length of one hop is known (DV-Hop) • Idea 2: If range estimates between neighbors exist, use them • Improve total length of route estimation in previous method (DV-Distance)

  16. Iterative Multilateration

  17. Probabilistic Position Description • Position of nodes is only probabilistically known • Represent this probability explicitly • Use it to compute probabilities for further nodes

  18. Conclusions • Determining location or position is a vitally important function in WSN, but fraught with many errors and shortcomings • Range estimates often not sufficiently accurate • Many anchors are needed for acceptable results • Anchors might need external position sources (GPS) • Multilateration problematic (convergence, accuracy)
