Abstract:

Structural Damage Detection sometimes requires full information of the damage location. If a wireless sensor network is used for damage detection, localization techniques of the wireless sensor network have to be adopted. To locate the sensors in the network, there are mainly two types of methods: range free and range based. The range free method is good at scaling on the network, but such method is not a good solution for low cost design. While the range-based localization methods uses time of arrival (TOA), angle of arrival (AOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA), also received signal strength intensity (RSSI). Among these techniques, the RSSI seems to be an energy efficiency solution for low cost sensor localization. This paper gives the analysis on the RSSI based localization and its accuracy.
