Sensor Localization for Location-Based Authentication Valliappan Annamalai And John Quintero
Project Goals • Develop a localization mechanism for use in location-based authentication. • Location-based access to computing resources. • Focus on determining location indoors.
Challenges • Indoor signal propagation subject to suffers from multipath propagation, shadowing and scattering. • Use scene analysis by constructing a signal-strength map of the lab. • Antenna orientation and pedestrian traffic cause local variation in signal strength.
Project Applications • Badge • Base Station • Serial Forwarder • Tracker Sender • Tracker Server
Example Architecture • Six base stations are used to capture signal strength information from a badge, which is compared to a pre-compiled mapping. • B: badge broadcasts id to establish its location. • BS: wireless base station captures badge signal strength, forwards to base station.
