چکیده
This paper presents a studyof the impact of reference node locations on the accuracy of the indoor positioning systems. In particular, we analyze the localization accuracy of the RSSI database mapping techniques, deploying on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networks. The results show that the locations of the reference nodes used in the positioning systems affect the signal propagation characteristics in the service area. Thisin turn affects the accuracy of the wireless indoor positioning system. We found that suitable location of reference nodes could reduce the positioning error upto 35 %. Keywords—Indoor positioning systems, IEEE 802.15.4 wireless networks, Signal propagation characteristics

متن کاملReference node placement and selection algorithm based on trilateration for indoor sensor networks
The key problem of location service in indoor sensor networks is to quickly and precisely acquire the position information of mobile nodes. Due to resource limitation of the sensor nodes, some of the traditional positioning algorithms, such as two-phase positioning (TPP) algorithm, are too complicated to be implemented and they cannot provide the real-time localization of the mobile node. We an...
