Abstract
This paper suggests the system that allows nearby firefighters to read about the transmission direction of a distress signal and track the location by RSSI of received distress signal which is transmitted wirelessly after sensing the distress signal of a firefighter using the Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) in the building. Also, It was confirmed that the location tracking using RSSI is possible because the difference between theoretical value and experimental value is little when experiment using the proposed system.
