본 논문에서는 제한된 무선 센서 네트워크 영역에서의 물리적인 현상을 사용하여 저 비용으로 객체의 위치를 파악할 수 있는 거리 비종속 위치추정 방식의 대표격인 Approximate Point in Triangle(APIT) 기법에서 발생할 수 있는 위치추정 오차를 줄일 수 있는 확장된-APIT(e-APIT) 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로는 타겟이 존재하는 영역 추출을 위한 새로운 테스트 방법을 제안하고, 이를 이용해 APIT에서 발생활 수 있는 영역 판단 오류를 최소화 시킨다. 또한 타겟의 주변 환경 정보를 이용하여 추정된 영역을 좁힘으로써 위치추정 오차를 감소시킬 수 있는 방법도 제시한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 확장-APIT 방식을 사용할 경우 기존의 APIT 방식을 사용할 경우보다 위치 추정의 정확도가 현격히 향상될 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

In this paper, we propose the localization algorithm for the cooperative behavior of the swarm robots based on WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). The proposed method is as follows: First, we measure positions of the L-bot (Leader robot) and F-bots (Follower robots) by using the APIT (Approximate Point In Triangle) and the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication). Second, we measure relative positions of the F-bots against the pre-measured position of the L-bot by using trilateration. Then, to revise a position error caused by noise of the wireless signal, we use the particle filter. Finally, we show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method though some simulations.

Among numerous localization schemes proposed specifically for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the range-free localization algorithms based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) have attracted considerable research interest for their simplicity and low cost. As a typical range-free algorithm, Approximate Point In Triangulation test (APIT) suffers from significant estimation errors due to its theoretical defects and RSSI inaccuracy. To address these problems, a novel localization method called FIAPIT, which is a combination of an improved APIT (IAPIT) and a fuzzy logic system, is proposed. The proposed IAPIT addresses the theoretical defects of APIT in near (it's defined as a point adjacent to a sensor is closer to three vertexes of a triangle area where the sensor resides simultaneously) and far (the opposite case of the near case) cases partly. To compensate for negative effects of RSSI inaccuracy, a fuzzy system, whose logic inference is based on IAPIT, is applied. Finally, the sensor's coordinates are estimated as the weighted average of centers of gravity (COGs) of triangles' intersection areas. Each COG has a different weight inferred by FIAPIT. Numerical simulations were performed to compare four algorithms with varying system parameters. The results show that IAPIT corrects the defects of APIT when adjacent nodes are enough, and FIAPIT is better than others when RSSI is inaccuracy.
