An Improved Sensor Positioning for Wireless Sensor Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sensor positioning is a fundamental block in various location-dependent applications of wireless sensor networks. In order to improve the positioning accuracy without increasing the complex and cost of sensor nodes, an improve sensor positioning method is proposed for wireless sensor networks. In the method, after receiving the broadcasting message of the neighboring anchor nodes, the sensor nodes calculate a modifying factor of the change of the signal strength. And they modify the distances between themselves and neighboring anchor nodes with the modifying factor. Simulation results show that the proposed method can obtain a high positioning accuracy.
