Error Checking

<p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">This paper studies the wireless sensor network localization algorithm based on the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) in detail. Considering the large errors in ranging and localization of nodes made by the algorithm, this paper corrects and compensates the errors of the algorithm to improve the coordinate accuracy of the node. The improved node localization algorithm performs error checking and correction on the anchor node and the node to be measured, respectively so as to make the received signal strength value of the node to be measured closer to the real value. It corrects the weighting factor by using the measured distance between communication nodes to make the coordinate of the node to be measured more accurate. Then, it calculates the mean deviation of localization based on the anchor node close to the node to be measured and compensates the coordinate error. Through the simulation experiment, it is found that the new localization algorithm with error checking and correction proposed in this paper improves the localization accuracy by 5%-6% compared with the weighted centroid algorithm based on RSSI.</span></p>

Geometric Measurement

Firstly, the characteristics of regular Zigbee localization algorithms-the received signal strength indicator algorithm (RSSI) and the weighted centroid localization algorithm are introduced. Then, the factors of the errors existing in the aforementioned algorithms are analyzed. Based on these above, the improved RSSI algorithm-correction geometric measurement based on weighted is proposed. Finally, utilizing this algorithm to design and implement the localization nodes, which have the CC2431 wireless microcontroller on them. The simulation and experimental results show that the accuracy of this localization algorithm improved about 2%, comparing with the regular algorithms.

Location estimation in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is mandatory to achieve high network efficiency. Identifying the positions of sensors is an uphill task as monitoring nodes are involved in estimation and localization. Clustered Positioning for Indoor Environment (CPIE) is proposed for estimating the position of the sensors using a Cluster Head (CH) based mechanism. The CH estimates the number of neighbor nodes in each floor of the indoor environment. It sends the requests to the cluster members and the positions are estimated based on the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs) from the members of the cluster. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed for both stable and mobile conditions by varying the number of floors. Experimental results show that the propounded scheme offers better network efficiency and reduces delay and localization error
