Abstract

The proposed algorithm to be explained in this paper is the localization technique using directional antenna. Here, it is assumed that anchor node has the ability to transfer the azimuth of each sector using GPS modules, sector antenna, and the digital compass. In the conventional sensor network, the majority of localization algorithms were capable of estimating the position information of the sensor node by knowing at least 3 position values of anchor nodes. However, this paper has proposed localization algorithm that estimates the position of nodes to continuously move with sensor nodes and traveling nodes. The proposed localization mechanisms have been simulated in the Matlab. The simulation results show that our scheme performed better than other mechanisms (e.g. MCL, DV-distance).

본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 지향성 안테나를 이용한 위치인식 기법이다. 여기서 앵커 노드는 GPS모듈, 섹터안테나, 그리고 디지털 나침반을 이용하여 각 섹터의 방위각을 전송 할 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있다고 가정한다. 기존의 센서네트워크에서 위치인식 알고리즘은 대부분이 센서 노드들이 고정되어 있는 환경에서 위치 값을 알고 있는 앵커 노드의 최소 3개의 위치 값을 알아야 센서의 위치추정을 하였다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 센서 노드를 부착하고 계속적으로 움직이는 노드들의 위치를 추정하는 위치인식 알고리즘들을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 Matlab을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였다. 시뮬레이션한 결과는 제안한 기법이 다른 기법 (MCL, DV-distance)들 보다 우수함을 보여주었다.
