An ETX Based Positioning System for Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

چکیده
RF-based localization has gained popularity because it offers low-cost positioning solution for ad-hoc networks. The Received Signal Strength (RSS) measured by a node has traditionally been used as a parameter to estimate location. However, RSS is not made readily available in the ad-hoc routing protocols like some other link quality indication parameter, e.g., Expected Transmission Count (ETX). ETX predicts the number of transmissions required to deliver a packet over a particular link, including retransmissions. We reveal that ETX can be shown as a proximity indicator relative to an anchor node (i.e., node with known position), and thereby, could also be utilized as a location estimation parameter similar to RSS. We implement a localization plugin for the popular ad-hoc routing protocol, Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) based on ETX. Our analysis and experiments show favorable results.

متن کاملA hop-count based positioning algorithm for wireless ad-hoc networks
We propose a range-free localization algorithm for a wireless ad-hoc network utilizing the hopcount metric’s ability to indicate proximity to anchors (i.e., nodes with known positions). In traditional sense, hop-count generally means the number of intermediate routers a datagram has to go through between its source and the destination node. We analytically show that hop-count could be used to i...
