In order to increase the accuracy of diffusion coefficient measurement, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of artifacts such as the influence of magnetic field inhomogeneity, eddy currents, or temperature. For these artifact sources, the article presents experimental detection of the magnitude of errors, which is realized using the three measurements method, and proposes correction possibilities. The results are compared with diffusion measurements at different sizes of 6-factors.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128762322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we have focused on the analysis of energy consumption during RF communication with particular 802.15.4 compliant nodes. We have designed experimental testbed and explored the scenario of node association and data transmission. For the measurement we used IRIS sensor nodes with 802.15.4/Zigbee protocol stack and shunt connection. The results show that energy consumption cannot be calculated only from datasheet values of current drain and length of a packet but intervals of listening and waiting between transmissions play important role as well.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126970016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel localization algorithm based beamforming. The performed localization algorithm is adopted for a typical communication model in WSNs involving two clusters of sensors at both transmitter and receiver sides of the communication link. The set of collaborative sensor nodes located at the transmit cluster could be assimilated to a distributed Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system [1], [2], [3]. We tackle the task of estimating the position of randomly distributed sensor nodes and we present a novel algorithm based on the beamforming approach [4], [5] and the received signal strength (SS) measurement. The correct operation of the proposed algorithm has been proved by simulation. The collected results for the sampling deviation of the estimator and the estimator variance are envisaged in order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":341695,"journal":{"name":"2011 34th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126695869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
