Efficient Sensor Localization Method with Classifying Environmental Sensor Data

Sensor location estimation is important for many location-based systems in ubiquitous environments. Sensor location is usually determined using a global positioning system. For indoor localization, methods that use the received signal strength (RSS) of wireless sensors are used instead of a global p...

description Sensor location estimation is important for many location-based systems in ubiquitous environments. Sensor location is usually determined using a global positioning system. For indoor localization, methods that use the received signal strength (RSS) of wireless sensors are used instead of a global positioning system because of the lack of availability of a global positioning system for indoor environments. However, there is a problem in determining sensor locations from the RSS: radio signal interference occurs because of the presence of indoor obstacles. To avoid this problem, we propose a novel localization method that uses environmental data recorded at each sensor location and a data classification technique to identify the location of sensor nodes. In this study, we used a wireless sensor node to collect data on various environmental parameters—temperature, humidity, sound, and light. We then extracted some features from the collected data and trained the location data classifier to identify the location of the wireless sensor node.
