Error Minimization in Indoor Wireless Sensor Network Localization Using Genetic Technique

Using the genetic technique, error minimisation in indoor wireless sensor network localisation improves indoor wireless sensor network localisation during this field research. Sensor localisation-based techniques; several wireless device network applications require awareness of each node's physical location. The discovery of the position complete utilising range measurements also as sensor localisation received signal strength in time of arrival and sensor localisation received signal strength in a time difference of arrival and angle of arrival. WSN in positioning algorithms like the angle of arrival between two neighbour nodes. A wireless sensor network using positioning techniques in the area is assumed as localisation. WSNs always operate in an unattended manner, various situations like dynamic situations in the wireless network. It's impossible to exchange sensor manner after deployment. Therefore, a fundamental objective is to optimise the sensor manner lifetime. There has been much specialising in mobile sensor networks, and we have even seen the event of small-profile sensing devices that are ready to control their movement. Although it's been shown that mobility alleviates several issues regarding sensor network coverage and connectivity, many challenges remain node localisation in wireless device network is extremely important for several applications and received signal strength indicator has the capability of sensing, actuating the environmental data the actual-time and favourable information are often collected using the sensor in WSN systems. WSN is often combined with the internet of things to permit the association and extensive access to sensor data, and genetic techniques search the position of the nodes in WSN using all anchor nodes. A proposed algorithm as a genetic technique supported received signal strength, angle of arrival, receptive wireless device and also localisation wireless network. In the study, this paper problem that accuracy is low and error more, but the proposed algorithm overcomes this problem and minimises the error rate. Finally, the simplest possible location satisfies each factor with a minimal error rate and absolute best solution using GA

A Survey of Beam Management for mmWave and THz Communications Towards 6G

Communication in millimeter wave (mmWave) and even terahertz (THz) frequency bands is ushering in a new era of wireless communications. Beam management, namely initial access and beam tracking, has been recognized as an essential technique to ensure robust mmWave/THz communications, especially for mobile scenarios. However, narrow beams at higher carrier frequency lead to huge beam measurement overhead, which has a negative impact on beam acquisition and tracking. In addition, the beam management process is further complicated by the fluctuation of mmWave/THz channels, the random movement patterns of users, and the dynamic changes in the environment. For mmWave and THz communications toward 6G, we have witnessed a substantial increase in research and industrial attention on artificial intelligence (AI), reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), and integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). The introduction of these enabling technologies presents both open opportunities and unique challenges for beam management. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on mmWave and THz beam management. Further, we give some insights on technical challenges and future research directions in this promising area.Comment: accepted by IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorial

Distributed Algorithm for Target Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks Using RSS and AoA Measurements

This paper addresses target localization problem in a cooperative 3-D wireless sensor network (WSN). We employ a hybrid system that fuses distance and angle measurements, extracted from the received signal strength (RSS) and angle-of-arrival (AoA) information, respectively. Based on range measurement model and simple geometry, we derive a novel non-convex estimator based on the least squares (LS) criterion. The derived non-convex estimator tightly approximates the maximum likelihood (ML) one for small noise levels. We show that the developed non-convex estimator is suitable for distributed implementation, and that it can be transformed into a convex one by applying a second-order cone programming (SOCP) relaxation technique. We also show that the developed non-convex estimator can be transformed into a generalized trust region sub-problem (GTRS) framework, by following the squared range (SR) approach. The proposed SOCP algorithm for known transmit powers is then generalized to the case where the transmit powers are different and not known. Furthermore, we provide a detailed analysis of the computational complexity of the proposed algorithms. Our simulation results show that the new estimators have excellent performance in terms of the estimation accuracy and convergence, and they confirm the effectiveness of combining two radio measurements

A Review of Radio Frequency Based Localization for Aerial and Ground Robots with 5G Future Perspectives

Efficient localization plays a vital role in many modern applications of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) and Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which would contribute to improved control, safety, power economy, etc. The ubiquitous 5G NR (New Radio) cellular network will provide new opportunities for enhancing localization of UAVs and UGVs. In this paper, we review the radio frequency (RF) based approaches for localization. We review the RF features that can be utilized for localization and investigate the current methods suitable for Unmanned vehicles under two general categories: range-based and fingerprinting. The existing state-of-the-art literature on RF-based localization for both UAVs and UGVs is examined, and the envisioned 5G NR for localization enhancement, and the future research direction are explored

Distributed localisation algorithm for wireless ad hoc networks of moving nodes

Existing ad hoc network localisation solutions rely either on external location references or network-wide exchange of information and centralised processing and computation of location estimates. Without these, nodes are not able to estimate the relative locations of other nodes within their communication range. This thesis defines a new distributed localisation algorithm for ad hoc networks of moving nodes. The Relative Neighbour Localisation (RNL) algorithm works without any external localisation signal or systems and does not assume centralised information processing. The idea behind the location estimates produced by the RNL algorithm is the relationship between the relative locations of two nodes, their mobility parameters and the signal strengths measured between them. The proposed algorithm makes use of the data available to each node to produce a location estimate. The signal strength each node is capable of measuring is used as one algorithm input. The other input is the velocity vector of the neighbouring node, composed of its speed and direction of movement, which each node is assumed to periodically broadcast. The relationship between the signal strength and the mobility parameters on one, and the relative location on the other side can be analytically formulated in an ideal case. The limitations of a realistic scenario complicate this relationship, making it very difficult to formulate analytically. An empirical approach is thus used. The angle and the distance estimates are individually computed, together forming a two-dimensional location estimate. The performance of the algorithm was analysed in detail using simulation, showing a median estimate error of under 10m, and its application was tested through design and evaluation of a distributed sensing coverage algorithm, showing RNL location estimates can provide 90% of the coverage achievable with true locations being known

Dynamic Radar Network of UAVs: A Joint Navigation and Tracking Approach

Nowadays there is a growing research interest on the possibility of enriching small flying robots with autonomous sensing and online navigation capabilities. This will enable a large number of applications spanning from remote surveillance to logistics, smarter cities and emergency aid in hazardous environments. In this context, an emerging problem is to track unauthorized small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) hiding behind buildings or concealing in large UAV networks. In contrast with current solutions mainly based on static and on-ground radars, this paper proposes the idea of a dynamic radar network of UAVs for real-time and high-accuracy tracking of malicious targets. To this end, we describe a solution for real-time navigation of UAVs to track a dynamic target using heterogeneously sensed information. Such information is shared by the UAVs with their neighbors via multi-hops, allowing tracking the target by a local Bayesian estimator running at each agent. Since not all the paths are equal in terms of information gathering point-of-view, the UAVs plan their own trajectory by minimizing the posterior covariance matrix of the target state under UAV kinematic and anti-collision constraints. Our results show how a dynamic network of radars attains better localization results compared to a fixed configuration and how the on-board sensor technology impacts the accuracy in tracking a target with different radar cross sections, especially in non line-of-sight (NLOS) situations

Enabling Cyber Physical Systems with Wireless Sensor Networking Technologies

[[abstract]]Over the last few years, we have witnessed a growing interest in Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) that rely on a strong synergy between computational and physical components. CPSs are expected to have a tremendous impact on many critical sectors (such as energy, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, aerospace, etc) of the economy. CPSs have the ability to transform the way human-to-human, human-toobject, and object-to-object interactions take place in the physical and virtual worlds. The increasing pervasiveness of Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) technologies in many applications make them an important component of emerging CPS designs. We present some of the most important design requirements of CPS architectures. We discuss key sensor network characteristics that can be leveraged in CPS designs. In addition, we also review a few well-known CPS application domains that depend on WSNs in their design architectures and implementations. Finally, we present some of the challenges that still need to be addressed to enable seamless integration of WSN with CPS designs.[[incitationindex]]SCI[[booktype]]紙
