An Experimental Comparison of Basic Device Localization Systems in Wireless Sensor Networks
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Localization plays a crucial role in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and it has sparked significant research interest. GPSs provide quite accurate positioning estimations, but they are ineffective indoors and in environments like underwater. Power usage and cost are further disadvantages, and so many alternatives have been proposed. Many works in the literature still base localization on RSSI measurements and often rely on methods to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in values, so it is important to know real values of RSSIs measured using common devices. This work presents the main localization techniques and exploits a real testbed to collect and evaluate RSSI measurements. An accuracy evaluation and a comparison among several localization techniques are also provided.
