Abstract

Generally, distance between sensor nodes is measured using received signal strength indicator (RSSI) in wireless sensor network (WSN). Since RSSI is not absolutely accurate and stable in indoor environment, the performance of position estimation largely depends on estimation methods. In this paper, performance evaluation is presented to compare trilateration based positioning technique and collaborative ranging (CR) technique. From evaluation results, CR method is shown to be better than trilateration based method in terms of accuracy and precision.
