In this paper, passive direction-finding localization of the emitter using noisy line-of-bearing (LOB) measurements is considered. The performance of the LOB-based emitter localization using linear LSE algorithm is given. The Dependence of the performance on bias of emitter location and sensor trajectory is illustrated using the numerical results.

In this paper, we proposes a multi-ring based mobile sink location scheme for solar-powered wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed scheme maintains the multi-rings in which nodes keep the current location of sink node. With the help of nodes in multi-rings, each node can locate the sink node efficiently with low-overhead. Moreover, because our scheme utilizes only surplus energy of a node, it can maintain multiple rings without degrading any performance of each node. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme shows much better latency and scalability with lower energy-consumption than the existing single-ring based scheme.

This article describes the methods of a decision of the location which user points to move by an optical device like a laser pointer and a moving to that location. Using a conic mirror and CCD camera sensor, a robot observes a spot of user wanted point among an initiative, computes the location and azimuth and moves to that position. This system offers the brief data to a processor with simple devices. In these reason, we can reduce the time of a calculation to process of images and find the target by user point for carrying a robot. User points a laser spot on a point to be moved so that this sensor system in the robot, detecting the laser spot point with a conic mirror, laid on the robot, showing a camera. The camera is attached on the robot upper body and fixed parallel to the ground and the conic mirror.

Energy constraints of wireless sensor networks are an important challenge. Data Transmission requires energy. Distance between origin and destination has an important role in energy consumption. In addition, the location of base station has a large impact on energy consumption and a specific method not proposed for it. In addition, a obtain model for location of base station proposed. Also a model for distributed clustering is presented by cluster heads. Eventually, a combination of discussed ideas is proposed to improve the energy consumption. The proposed ideas have been implemented over the LEACH-C protocol. Evaluation results show that the proposed methods have a better performance in energy consumption and lifetime of the network in comparison with similar methods.

As an important technology of the internetwork, wireless sensor network technique plays an important role in indoor localization. Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) problem has a large effect on indoor location accuracy. A location algorithm based on improved particle filter and directional probabilistic data association (IPF-DPDA) for WSN is proposed to solve NLOS issue in this paper. Firstly, the improved particle filter is proposed to reduce error of measuring distance. Then the hypothesis test is used to detect whether measurements are in LOS situations or NLOS situations for N different groups. When there are measurements in the validation gate, the corresponding association probabilities are applied to weight retained position estimate to gain final location estimation. We have improved the traditional data association and added directional information on the original basis. If the validation gate has no measured value, we make use of the Kalman prediction value to renew. Finally, simulation and experimental results show that compared with existing methods, the IPF-DPDA performance better.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in geographically isolated applications like military border area monitoring, battle field surveillance, forest fire detection systems, etc. Uninterrupted power supply is not possible in isolated locations and hence sensor nodes live on their own battery power. Localization of sensor nodes in isolated locations is important to identify the location of event for further actions. Existing localization algorithms consume more energy at sensor nodes for computation and communication thereby reduce the lifetime of entire WSNs. Existing approaches also suffer with less localization coverage and localization accuracy. The objective of the proposed work is to increase the lifetime of WSNs while increasing the localization coverage and localization accuracy. A novel intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle anchor node (IUAN) is proposed to reduce the communication cost at sensor nodes during localization. Further, the localization computation cost is reduced at each sensor node by the proposed intelligent arc selection (IAS) algorithm. IUANs construct the location-distance messages (LDMs) for sensor nodes deployed in isolated locations and reach the Control Station (CS). Further, the CS aggregates the LDMs from different IUANs and computes the position of sensor nodes using IAS algorithm. The life time of WSN is analyzed in this paper to prove the efficiency of the proposed localization approach. The proposed localization approach considerably extends the lifetime of WSNs, localization coverage and localization accuracy in isolated environments.

Accurate and low-cost sensor localization is a critical requirement for the deployment of wireless sensor networks in a wide variety of application. Sensor position is used for its data to be meaningful and for energy efficient data routing algorithm especially geographic routing. The previous works for sensor localization utilize global positioning system(GPS) or estimate unknown-location nodes position with help of some small reference nodes which know their position previously. However, the traditional localization techniques are not well suited in the senor network for the cost of sensors is too high. In this paper, we propose the sensor localization method with a mobile robot, which knows its position, moves through the sensing field along pre-scheduled path and gives position information to the unknown-location nodes through wireless channel to estimate their position. We suggest using the sensor position estimation method and an efficient mobility path model. To validate our method, we carried out a computer simulation, and observed that our technique achieved sensor localization more accurately and efficiently than the conventional one.

무선 센서 네트워크에서, 추가적인 하드웨어를 사용하지 않고 이동센서노드의 위치를 검출하는 가장 일반적인 방법들중의 하나가 수신 신호 세기를 기반으로 하는 위치 검출기법이다. 하지만, 노드 사이의 물리적인 무선 채널 특성에 따라 수신 신호의 세기가 다양하게 측정됨으로 신호의 세기를 이용하여 구한 두 노드간의 거리 데이터는 많은 오차를 포함하게 된다. 더 나아가 이를 이용하여 위치 검출을 수행할 경우 위치 추정 오차가 발생된다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 극복하여, 제한된 시스템 자원 내에서 노드의 위치 검출의 정확도를 개선시키는 방법이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 수신 신호 세기 기반의 거리 측정 방법의 단점을 극복하기 위해, 거리 데이터 신뢰도 정보를 활용하는 위치 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기본 알고리즘보다 약 30%정도의 성능 향상을 제공할 수 있음을 보인다.
