Optimalization of beacon selection for localization in wireless AD-HOC networks

Abstract

In this paper we engage in optimalization of convenient beacons for localization position of a node in the ad-hoc network. An algorithm designed by us localizes position of moving or static node by RSS (Received Signal Strength) method and trilateration. At first, localization of unknown node runs by combination of all beacons. Than optimalizating algorithm reduces the number of beacons (and repeats localization), while only three left. Its reduction is based on highest levels of received signal strength. It is only when signals are from the nearest beacons. Position localizating exactness is statistically interpreted from all localization by beacons combination and its repeating.
