Abstract

This paper addresses a simple implementation technology for localising a group of mobile nodes using the Peer-To-Peer (P2P) ranging measurements obtained from a Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN). In recent years, MWSN-based multi-target localisation technologies have been investigated with alacrity. However, it is difficult to implement P2P ranging and data transformation for multi-target localisation iteratively using single channel MWSN. Also, there are critical problems in the conventional localisation algorithms associated with the estimation errors owing to the erroneous linearization of a nonlinear range equation and bad relative locations of the reference nodes and target node. In this paper, very simple P2P ranging and connection data sharing procedures that can be easily implemented in single channel MWSN are established. Moreover, an adaptive localisation algorithm is presented to reduce the estimation errors that may occur in the conventional localisation algorithms. To verify the performance of the presented implementation technology, a localisation system prototype is developed and the presented procedures and algorithm are embedded in the prototype. Through actual experiments, the validity of the localisation system containing the proposed procedures and algorithm is demonstrated.
