The nodes are highly resource-constrained in terms of energy, processing, and data storage capacity. Thus, the protocols used in WSNs must be highly energy-efficient. WSN communication protocols achieving the lowest power consumption minimize radio usage by accurately synchronizing transmissions and receptions with their neighbors. In this paper, we show how network signaling frames of state-of-the-art synchronized communication protocols for low-power WSNs supporting mobile nodes can be used for positioning. We derive mathematical models for node power consumption analysis. The models provide a tool for estimating what kind of network lifetimes can be expected when average positioned node speed, the amount of anchor nodes required by the location estimation algorithm, and the location refresh rate required by the application are known. The presented analysis results are based on two kinds of node hardware: real node hardware prototypes having no Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) support and typical values of an integrated chip using an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio with RSSI.","PeriodicalId":373653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Ubiquitous Positioning Indoor Navigation and Location Based Service","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132429398","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}

The experiment results show that with histogram based algorithms, the positioning accuracy improves as the number of histogram bins increases until the number of bins reaches eight. With the number of bins lower than this, the uneven bin distribution with separate bin for missing samples gives better accuracy than even bin widths. If the calibration data contains samples from several measurement directions, it is beneficial to combine them into one fingerprint, as this decreases the size of the radio map and gives at least the same accuracy as having separate fingerprints for different measurement directions. In the experiments, the combination of the signals from correlating sources before the computation of the radio map and position estimate decreases the positioning accuracy only by 1–2 m, but decreases significantly the size of the radio map. The best method for signal combinations depends on the bin configuration and position estimation algorithm.","PeriodicalId":373653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Ubiquitous Positioning Indoor Navigation and Location Based Service","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124232255","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}

Through their GNSS receiver, peers obtain pseudorange estimates from satellites while they use their wireless interface both to communicate with each other and to obtain terrestrial range estimates. The proposed algorithm is an extended version of the distributed-weighted multidimensional scaling (dwMDS) [1] algorithm to be compatible with the hybrid P2P scenario where unknown peers infer their own positions by fusing both GNSS pseudorange and terrestrial range estimates. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid dwMDS (hdwMDS) algorithm out-performs the cooperative version of the least squares algorithm. Moreover, they show the related benefits in term of positioning performance in a cooperative scenario in comparison to a non cooperative one based on GNSS-only positioning.","PeriodicalId":373653,"journal":{"name":"2010 Ubiquitous Positioning Indoor Navigation and Location Based Service","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126147276","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}

Difference from the existing rail positioning technologies, the proposed approach is specially designed for underground tunnels, culverts and architectural indoor environments. The paper will also introduce a Time synchronization method which integrates the time base of COMPASS (Beidou) with IEEE 1588 technology, so as to avoid sole dependence on GPS clock signal.
