Introduction
Advances in communication technologies electronic components have allowed for efficient and inexpensive wireless sensor nodes.
Increased interest in Wireless sensor networks, for commercial and military usage.
Adaptive WSNs require efficient routing protocols to transmit data between nodes.
Most routing protocols rely on the known location of sensor nodes to implement data routing.
Introduction
Introduction
Routing requires an efficient localization solution Use of external localization devices results in
increased resource usage Propose to study a form of localization using RSSI
(received signal strength indication) Analyze the accuracy and precision of using RSSI
Methods
Divided into three subsections Devise an RSSI vs distance model Localization experimentation Statistical analysis
Zigbee RSSI
RSSI is a measure of the amount of signal power received by one node from another
RSSI is non-linear with respect to distance Modeled through the Friis transmission equation

PTX=Power transmitted at receiver
PRX=Power remaining at receiver
GTX=Transmitter gain
GRX=Receiver gain
λ=Wavelength d=Distance between transmitter and receiver
RSSI vs Distance model
In order to get an accurate model, we need actual RSSI data.
Measured RSSI values between two zigbee nodes from 1 to 40 meters at 1 meter intervals
Used linear regression to model select data intervals
RSSI vs Distance model
RSSI vs Distance model
Localization Experiment
RSSI measurements were taken at a central node with three and four surrounding nodes
Location of surrounding nodes was known
Localization Experiment
Localization Experiment
Analysis
To understand the accuracy and precision of the experimentation, we plot the mean value of the data set
We also compute the confidence interval to show the precision of each experiment
Analysis – Three nodes
Analysis –Four nodes
Results
Distance Errors in meters
3 nodes 4 nodes
0.82 1.01
2.26 1.14
2.04 1.20
3.66 3.67
Conclusions
Using RSSI measurements from 4 nodes: Gives a more accurate average estimation. Allows for smaller confidence intervals, meaning
our estimations will have less deviation.
Future Improvements
Increase the number of samples taken during each experiment
Increase the number of nodes used Adjust the transmission power
