Abstract

In this chapter the authors discuss the feasibility of sensor node localization by exploiting the inherent resources of WSN technology, such as the received signal strength (RSS) of the exchanged messages. The authors also present a brief overview of various factors influencing the RSS, including the RF-signal propagation and other topology parameters which influence the localization process and accuracy. Moreover, the RSS variability due to internal factors, related to the hardware implementation of a sensor node, is investigated in order to be considered in simulations of RSS-based outdoor localization scenarios. Localization considerations referring to techniques, topology parameters and factors influencing the localization accuracy are combined in simulation examples to evaluate their significance concerning target positioning performance. Finally, the RF propagation model and the topology parameters being identified are validated in real outdoor localization scenario.
