This paper proposes a Improved positioning algorithm of electrical partial discharge applied for substations. This algorithm is based on received signal strength indication, and taken practical condition of sensors into consideration by replenishing beacon nodes. Compared with traditional trilateral weighting positioning algorithm, this paper introduces indefinite amount of localization perpendicular lines and combined them with trilateral districts to calculate the weighting result, which can reduce error. This model meets the requirement of reality that the height of electrical discharge spots differentiate from the height of the plane formed by beacon nodes (signal sensors). The experimental result indicates that the revised position model proposed by this paper can effectively fit the condition of monitoring hardware. Error of this algorithm is less than that of traditional trilateral localization.

A novel Global Positioning Algorithm for Workers in Underground Coal Mine Based on RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is proposed and implemented. The innovation of the algorithm is the RSSI optimization and GIS auxiliary positioning. The RSSI optimization can reduces the error caused when the blind code is too closed to the reference node, and GIS auxiliary positioning is to solve the problem that the number of the reference codes in the communication radius of blind code is less than three. Experimental Results Indicate that Global positioning algorithm has the average vertical positioning error less than 4m, the horizontal error less than 1/2 roadway width, and the positioning cycle less than 1s, with better positioning and tracking performance, and expands the coverage of the network of underground positioning.

The term partial discharge (PD) refers to a partial bridging of insulating material between electrodes that sustain an electric field in high-voltage (HV) systems. Long-term PD activity can lead to catastrophic failures of HV systems resulting in economic, energy and even human life losses. Such failures and losses can be avoided by continuously monitoring PD activity. Existing techniques used for PD localization including time of arrival (TOA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA), are complicated and expensive because they require time synchronization. In this paper, a novel received signal strength (RSS) based localization algorithm is proposed. The reason that RSS is favoured in this research is that it does not require clock synchronization and it only requires the energy of the received signal rather than the PD pulse itself. A comparison was made between RSS based algorithms including a proposed algorithm, the ratio and search and the least squares algorithm to locate a PD source for nine different positions. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated by using two field scenarios based on seven and eight receiving nodes, respectively. The mean localization error calculated for two-field-trial scenarios show, respectively, 1.80 m and 1.76 m for the proposed algorithm for all nine positions, which is the lowest of the three algorithms.

Medical implants based on wireless communication will play crucial role in healthcare systems. Some applications need to know the exact position of each implant. RF positioning seems to be an effective approach for implant localization. The two most common positioning data typically used for RF positioning are received signal strength and time of flight of a radio signal between transmitter and receivers (medical implant and network of reference devices with known position). This leads to positioning methods: received signal strength (RSS) and time of arrival (ToA). Both methods are based on trilateration. Used positioning data are very important, but the positioning algorithm which estimates the implant position is important as well. In this paper, the proposal of novel algorithm for trilateration is presented. The proposed algorithm improves the quality of basic trilateration algorithms with the same quality of measured positioning data. It is called Enhanced Positioning Trilateration Algorithm (EPTA). The proposed algorithm can be divided into two phases. The first phase is focused on the selection of the most suitable sensors for position estimation. The goal of the second one lies in the positioning accuracy improving by adaptive algorithm. Finally, we provide performance analysis of the proposed algorithm by computer simulations.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is formed by a large number of low-cost sensors. In order to exchange information, sensor nodes communicate in an ad hoc manner. The acquired information is useful only when the location of sensors is known. To use GPS-aided devices in each sensor makes sensors more costly and energy hungry. Hence, finding the location of nodes in WSNs becomes a major issue. In this paper, the authors propose a combination of range based and range-free localization scheme. In their scheme, for finding the distance, they use received signal strength indication (RSSI), which is a range based center of gravity technique. For finding the location of non-anchor nodes, the authors assign weights to anchor and non-anchor nodes based on received signal strength. The weight, which is assigned to anchor and non-anchor nodes, are designed by fuzzy logic system (FLS).

AbstractTo improve the management of science and technology museums, this paper conducts an in-depth study on Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) indoor positioning based on mobile terminals and applies this technology to the indoor positioning of a science and technology museum. The location fingerprint algorithm is used to study the offline acquisition and online positioning stages. The positioning flow of the location fingerprint algorithm is discussed, and the improvement of the location fingerprint algorithm is emphasized. The raw data of the RSSI (received signal strength indication) is preprocessed, which makes the location fingerprint data more effective and reliable, thus improving the positioning accuracy. Three different improvement strategies are proposed for the nearest neighbor classification algorithm: a balanced joint metric based on distance weighting and a compromise between the two. Then, in the experimental simulation, the positioning results and errors of the traditional KNN (k-nearest neighbor) algorithm and three improvement strategy algorithms are analyzed separately, and the effectiveness of the three improved strategy algorithms is verified by experiments.
