Kid Net Project: Signal Strength based Orientation Discovery Group Members Saleel Kudchadker Sushma Myneni
Agenda • Project Goals • Introduction to Project • Project Details • Problems Faced • Results • Goals Not Achieved
Project Goals • Providing a facing direction measurement system of a sensor with another • Use metrics such as Signal Strength, Packet error rate to estimate orientation • Generate MATLAB model to estimate orientation
Project Details and Assumptions • Assumptions • Kids are in close proximity with in 1.5 ft • Antenna of the motes are not covered • Project Details • Readings were taken at multiples of 90º angles • Telos B mote is mounted vertically
Project Details • We have used Telos B motes in our experiments • We have used the internal antenna (F-inverted) present on the PCB • Radiation pattern of the F-inverted (vertical mounting) is not perfectly Omnidirectional

Problems faced • Omni-directional antenna of telos B needs analysis of radiation pattern • Multipath problems resulted in erroneous results • Packet error rate is very high even at shorter range like 1feet
Results • Matlab model takes the radiation pattern and RSSI values to calculate angle of orientation which agrees with experimental setup
Goals not achieved • Unable to include packet error rate metric • Experiment was not conducted by varying the height • Experiment was conducted only indoors
