algorithm called Ecolocation. Our algorithm determines the
location of unknown nodes by examining the ordered sequence of received
signal strength (RSS) measurements taken at multiple reference nodes.
We employ a constraint-based approach that provides for robust location
decoding even in the presence of random RSS fluctuations due to multipath
fading and shadowing. Through extensive systematic simulations,
and a representative set of real mote experiments, we show that over a
wide range of settings Ecolocation performs better than other state of
the art approaches in terms of localization accuracy and precision. |
