Outline • 1. Introduction • 2. System Design • 3. Experiment Setup and Results • 4. Conclusions and Future Works
Introduction • Track a user position in both indoor and outdoor environments by using a single wireless device with minimal tracking error • By incorporating a radiolocation device (CC2431, Chipcon, Norway) which uses Zigbee • The device possesses a location estimation capability via RSSI • Computes distances based on the transmitted and RSS between blind node and reference nodes
System Design • Blind node broadcasts request to the reference nodes • Reference nodes reply by sending their coordinates and RSSI values
Deterministic Phase • Calibrating RSSI values for each reference node • The feature of non-isotropic path loss due to the various transmission medium and direction in different environments • RSSI = -(10n log10d + A) (1) • n: signal propagation constant • d: distance from sender • A:received signal strength at 1 meter distance
Relation Curve • A=40, n=3
Deterministic Phase (cont.) • If only a single n (propagation constant) is used for all reference nodes, miscalculation of the distance occurs • Propagation constant is calculated by reversing the linear RSSI equation as shown in (1)
Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation • Main challenge in RSSI-based location tracking is its high sensitivity to the environmental changes • The mobile target does not move and yet, signal strength varies over time • Smoothing algo. is proposed to minimize the dynamic fluctuation of radio signal received
Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation(cont.) • There is a correlation between current positions with previous location • The basic assumption for this smoothing algorithm is that the constant velocity motion
Probabilistic Phase – Distance Estimation(cont.) • Estimation Stages • Prediction Stages • Converted to distances • RSSI = -(10n log10d + A) (1) pred – predicted Smoothed Range est – estimation prev – measured Range rate
C P A B Probabilistic Phase – Position Estimation
Experiment Results Time (sec) Time (sec)
Comparison of Distances Between Filtered RSSI and Unfiltered data
Comparison of Location Coordinates (X, Y) Computed by Iterative Trilateration Algo. & CC2431
Conclusions & Future Works • Smoothing algorithm is not proposed in other systems • Apply the smoothing algorithm on distances instead of RSSI • More complicated experiment will be designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
