The document presents a localization technique for wireless sensor networks that uses trilateration based on received signal strength. It begins with an introduction to wireless sensor networks and localization. It then discusses related work on trilateration localization techniques. The document proposes a methodology that uses signal propagation models to estimate distances between nodes from received signal strength, and then applies trilateration to compute node positions in 3D space using four or more anchor nodes. It presents simulation results showing the mean square error decreases and localization accuracy increases as the number of anchor nodes increases. The technique provides more accurate localization than existing fuzzy logic approaches, with average localization errors less than 0.5 units when using 100 anchor nodes.
LOCALIZATION ALGORITHM USING VARYING SPEED MOBILE SINK FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NE...ijasuc
Localization of sensor nodes is important in many aspects in wireless sensor networks. The known
location of sensor node helps in determining the event of interest. A mobile sink is introduced to track the
event driven sensor nodes in the path of the event, thus conserving energy and time. We present a novel
range based localization algorithm which helps the mobile sink to compute the location of the sensor
nodes efficiently. The data transfer from the mobile sink and the sensor nodes is used to estimate the
sensor location. The sensor nodes do not need to spend energy on neighbouring interaction for
localization. The localization mechanism has been implemented in TOSSIM. The simulation results show
that our scheme performed better than other range-based schemes.

Localization of nodes in an infrastructure less network serves many purposes. Several issues relating to
security, routing, etc it can be solved if only the actual location of nodes were known. Existing approaches
estimate the location of a node in a network by using received signal strength indicator (RSSI), Time of
Arrival, Time difference of Arrival and, if directional antennas are available, Direction of Arrival. In these
methods the localization accuracy is less (in the order of 20cm). The aim of this paper is to localize nodes
in adhoc networks with improved accuracy using ultra wide band.The proposed method uses a train of low
amplitude pulses of high bandwidth, which reduces the energy consumption, effects due to small scale
fading, and dispersion in time and frequency. The network was simulated in NS-2 with UWB extension and
the localization accuracy was found to be improved (upto 1cm).

Localization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is one of the most important fundamental requisite that needs to be resolved efficiently as it plays a significant role in many applications namely environmental monitoring, routing and target tracking which is all location dependent. The main idea of localization is that some deployed nodes with known coordinates termed as anchor nodes transmit beacons with their coordinates in order to help the other nodes in the sensing field to localize themselves. Broadly there are two types of localization methods used for calculating positions namely the range-based and range-free methods. Initially, a range-free localization algorithm namely, Mobile Anchor Positioning - Mobile Anchor & Neighbor (MAP-M&N) is applied. In this algorithm, the sensor nodes use the location information of beacon packets of mobile anchor nodes as well as the location packets of neighboring nodes to improve the accuracy in localization of the sensor nodes. In this paper, the proposed optimization approach is Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm which is incorporated with MAP-M&N to further improve the accuracy in positioning the sensor nodes. The objective of this work is to compare the performance of MAP-ABC approach with regard to MAP-M&N algorithm. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is the performance metric to compare between the two approaches namely, MAP-M&N and MAP-ABC algorithms. A study on average localization error and comparison between the two approaches namely, MAP-M&N and MAP-ABC has been done. Simulation results reveal that Artificial Bee Colony approach used along with MAP-M&N outperforms by minimizing error in when compared to using only MAP-M&N approach for localization.

The Key Metric forEvaluation Localizationin Wireless Sensor Networks via Dist...CSEIJJournal
Wireless sensor network localization is an importantarea that attracted significant research interest..
Hence, localization schemes for wireless sensorAlthough mobility would appear to make localization more
difficult, in this paper We present a new method bywhich a sensor node can determine its location by
listening to wireless transmissions from three or more fixed beacon nodes and argue that it can exploit
mobility to improve the accuracy and precision of localization. Our approach does not require additional
hardware on the nodes and works even when the movement of seeds and nodes is uncontrollable. The
proposed method is based on aDistance/ Angle- Estimation technique that does not increase the complexity
or cost of construction of the localization sensor nodes. It determines how the available information will be
manipulated to enable all of the nodes of the WSN to estimate their positions. It is a distributed and usually
multi-hop algorithm

Determining location information of sensor node is an essential issue to capture the sensed data and to
update the necessary information in many wireless sensor network applications, such as healthcare services,
military applications, warning systems, environmental monitoring etc. Mobile Anchor Node is used to achieve
Localization in a wireless sensor networks. Hence the main challenge is to design and develop a Path Planning
Algorithm for a Mobile Anchor Node to broadcast three consecutive non-collinear messages for location
estimation which in turn increases localization accuracy and coverage and also reduces time required to
determine location information. In this paper, I propose a Path Planning Algorithm called Z-curve to perform
trilateration calculation to estimate sensor nodes location. Proposed trajectory can successfully localize all
deployed sensor nodes in a network region of interest with more accuracy and consumes less time for
localization. Furthermore, to handle obstacles, Z-curve obstacle-handling trajectory is proposed.
Keywords— Wireless sensor networks, mobile anchor node, path planning, non-collinear, localization
Localization is one of the key technologies in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), since it provides
fundamental support for many location-aware protocols and applications. Constraints on cost and power
consumption make it infeasible to equip each sensor node in the network with a global position system
(GPS) unit, especially for large-scale WSNs. A promising method to localize unknown nodes is to use
anchor nodes, which are equipped with GPS units among unknown nodes and broadcast their current
locations to help nearby unknown nodes with localization. In this paper we can proposed a novel algorithm
of cuboid localization with the help of central point precision method. Simulation shows that the results are
far better then existing cuboid methods and gain accuracy of up to 83% with a localization error of 1.6m
and standard deviation of 2.7.
Recent advances in radio and embedded systems for completing the procedure of location estimation most
of the time sensor networks are fully dependent on the distance measurements that is present between the
sensor neighbourhood node. Techniques used for the localization can be categorized differently.
Techniques used for the measurement of the distance between the wireless sensor nodes, dependent upon
the physical means are divided into three broader categories namely Received signal strength (RSS), Angle
of Arrival (AOA) and propagation base on time measurements. This paper discusses the most of the
approached of WSN and IoT based positioning system.
WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK LOCALIZATION IN 3D USING STEERABLE ANCHORS’ ANTENNASijassn
Wireless sensor network localization plays an important role in mobile computing. Moreover, Sensor
nodes are often deployed non-uniformly in anisotropic WSNs with holes in various applications such as
monitoring area terrain. The existence of holes will invariably affect the Euclidean distances between
nodes and result in low accuracy of node localization. The proposed algorithm is suitable for four different
topologies, including the semi-C-shape topology, the O-shape topology, the multiple O-shape topology and
the concave-shape topology and is exceedingly accurate and efficient comparing with state-of-the-art
methods in anisotropic WSNs with holes. Our results show that the error in horizontal plane is less than
0.25 m while in the Z-axis is less than 0.5 m.
A Novel Range-Free Localization Scheme for Wireless Sensor NetworksGiselleginaGloria
This paper present a low-cost yet effective localization scheme for the wireless sensor networks. There are many studies in the literature of locating the sensors in the wireless sensor networks. Most of them require either installing extra hardware or having a certain amount of sensor nodes with known positions. The localization scheme we propose in this paper is range-free, i.e., not requiring extra hardware devices, and meanwhile it only needs two anchor nodes with known position. Firstly, we install the first anchor node at the lower left corner (Sink X) and the other anchor node at the lower right corner (Sink Y). Then we calculate the minimum hop counts for each unknown node to both Sink X and Sink Y. According to the minimum hop count pair to Sink X and Sink Y of each node, we can virtually divide the monitored region into zones. We then estimate the coordinate of each sensor depending on its located zone. Finally, we adjust the location estimation of each sensor according to its relative position in the zone. We simulate our proposed scheme and the well-known DV-Hop method. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme is superior to the DV-Hop method under both low density and high density sensor deployments.
CP-NR Distributed Range Free Localization Algorithm in WSNIJAAS Team
Advancements in wireless communication technology have empowered the researchers to develop large scale wireless networks with huge number of sensor nodes. In these networks localization is very active field of research. Localization is a way to determine the physical position of sensor nodes which is useful in many aspects such as to find the origin of events, routing and network coverage. Locating nodes with GPS systems is expensive, power consuming and not applicable to indoor environments. Localization in three dimensional space and accuracy of the estimated location are two factors of major concern. In this paper, a new three dimensional Distributed range-free algorithm which is known as CP-NR is proposed. This algorithm has high localization accuracy and resolved the problem of existing NR algorithm. CP-NR (Coplanar and Projected Node Reproduction) algorithm makes use of co-planarity and projection of point on plane concepts to reduce the localization error. Results have shown that CP-NR algorithm is superior to NR algorithm and comparison is done for the localization accuracy with respect to variations in range, anchor density and node density.
Analyzing the performance of the dynamicIJCNCJournal
In this paper, we are focused to analyse the performance of the two dimensional dynamic
Position Location and Tracking (PL&T) of mobile nodes. The architecture of the dynamic PL&T
is developed based on determining the potential zone of the target node (s) and then tracking
using the triangulation. We assume that the nodes are mobile and have one omnidirectional
antenna per node. The network architecture under consideration is cluster based Mobile Ad Hoc
Network (MANET) where at an instance of time, three nodes are used as reference nodes to track
target node(s) using triangulation method. The novel approach in this PL&T tracking method is
the “a priori” identification of the zone of the target node(s) within a circle with a reasonable
radios, and then placing the three reference nodes for the zone such that a good geometry is
created between the reference nodes and the target nodes to improve the accuracy of
triangulation method. The geometry of the reference nodes’ triangle is closer to equilateral
triangle and all potential target nodes are inside the circle. We establish the fact that when the
target node is moving linearly, the predictive method of zone finding is sufficient to track the
target node accurately. However, when the target node changes the direction, the predictive
method of zone finding will fail and we need to place the three references outside the zone such
that proper geometry with no one angle is less than 30 degrees is maintained to get accurate
PL&T location of the target node at each instance of time. The new zone is always formed for
each instance of time prior to triangulation.
In this paper, we demonstrate the accuracy of integrated zone finding and triangulation for
detecting the PL&T location the node at each instance of time within 1.5 foot accuracy. It should
be noted that as the target node is tracked continuously by applying the integrated zone finding
and triangulation algorithm at different instances of time, one foot accuracy can no longer be
maintained. Periodically, the good PL&T data on each node has to be established by
reinitializing the PL&T locations of the nodes including those that are used as reference nodes.
In this paper, the performance of the dynamic PL&T system is derived using Additive White
Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel; and using AWGN plus Multi-path fading channel. The impact
of multipath fading on tracking accuracy is analysed using Rician Fading channel for MANET
applications outdoors. Our real time simulations show the PL&T tracking accuracy for the
mobile target nodes in both cases to be within 1.5 foot accuracy.

Development and performance evaluation of localization algorithm for variety ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Wireless sensor networks have emerged from military needs and found its way into civil applications. Today wireless sensor networks have become a key technology for different kinds of smart environments. Sensor node localization which is determining where a given sensor node is physically or relatively located is extremely crucial for most of the applications in wireless sensor networks. The procedure through which the sensor nodes obtain their positions is called localization. Many localization algorithms have been proposed for wireless sensor networks. In this article, we describe our newly developed localization algorithm and performance evaluation of this localization algorithm with square, ‘C’ and ‘L’ shape network topology. Keywords- sensor network, localization algorithms
Location Fingerprinting is a very familiar Wi-Fi positioning method, which determines a device by retrieving the information recorded containing the location fingerprint. These methods deploy the signal strength (RSS) to predict the coordinate. There are feedbacks for using the absolute RSS either the absolute RSS in a time interval may not be representable of the IEEE 802.11 signal, as the signal may fluctuate or a manual error prone calibration is needed across different mobile platform. The main target is to propose the use of Fourier descriptors in LF. We convert the IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi signal into a Fourier domain. Then, the Fourier descriptors are used to predict the location by applying the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The results show that the effectiveness of LF methods based on Fourier descriptors lead to substantially more accurate and robust localization.
Enhanced DV Hop Localization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networksijtsrd
The Wireless Sensor Networks Localization is an important area due to its wide spread application in the all fields. Hence in this work, an improved Distance Vector technics is used to reduce the localization error of target nodes in the wireless sensor networks. The proposed technique is an modification over classical D V hop algorithm. The importance of localization of unknown sensor nodes in WSN is an emerging area due to the wide use of applications. Hence in this paper, an advanced Distance Vector algorithm is proposed to improve the localization or positional accuracy of unknown sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm is an enhancement over traditional over classical Distance Vector algorithm. The main goal of this algorithm is minimize the error generated during the calculation of average hop size value with the help of weighted correction on average hop size. And further improvement in positional accuracy of sensor node is maintained by using WLS algorithm, by considering the distance between anchor nodes and unknown sensor nodes. Simulation results are generated by using MATLAB and the localization accuracy or error compared with classical DV hop, improved method by changing the parameters like radius of communication of nodes, density of sensor nodes and percentage of anchor counts.

As Wireless Sensor Networks are penetrating into the industrial domain, many research opportunities are emerging. One such essential and challenging application is that of node localization. A feed-forward neural network based methodology is adopted in this paper. The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values of the anchor node beacons are used. The number of anchor nodes and their configurations has an impact on the accuracy of the localization system, which is also addressed in this paper. Five different training algorithms are evaluated to find the training algorithm that gives the best result. The multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network model was trained using Matlab. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in real time, the model obtained was then implemented on the Arduino microcontroller. With four anchor nodes, an average 2D localization error of 0.2953 m has been achieved with a 12-12-2 neural network structure. The proposed method can also be implemented on any other embedded microcontroller system.
A NOVEL APPROACH TO DETECT THE MOVEMENT OF TARGET IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSEditor IJMTER
The ultimate aim of a wireless sensor network is to provide accurate and reliable
information regarding the environment in which the sensors are deployed. Among the various
applications of a sensor network, target tracking is the one of the key application of WSNs. In
existing system To design a Face Track for detecting the movement of a target in polygon. Develop a
brink detection algorithm used to reconstruct another conceptual polygon. Optimal node selection
algorithm to select which sensor of spatial region to track data. All wireless sensors are activated and
idle listening is a major source of energy waste. Once an active sensor runs out of energy, that
sensors are not present in the network. So communication is not fully completed. We enhance the
proposed algorithm Probability-Based Prediction and Sleep Scheduling (PPSS) to overcome this
problem also it improve the power efficiency and increase the network life time.

High uncertainty aware localization and error optimization of mobile nodes fo...IAESIJAI
The localization of mobile sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) is a key research area for the speedy development of wireless communication and microelectronics. The localization of mobile sensor nodes massively depends upon the received signal strength (RSS). Recently, the least squared relative error (LSRE) measurements are optimized using traditional semidefinite programming (SDP) and the location of the mobile sensor nodes was determined using the previous localization methods like least squared relative error and semidefinite programming (LSRE-SDP), and approximate nonlinear least squares and semidefinite programming (ANLS-SDP). Therefore, in this work, a novel high uncertainty aware-localization error correction and optimization (HUA-LECO) model is employed to minimize the aforementioned problems regarding the localization of mobile sensor nodes and enhance the performance efficiency of root mean square error (RMSE) results. Here, the position of target mobile sensor nodes is evaluated based on the gathered measurements while discarding faulty data. Here, an iterative weight updation approach is utilized to perform localization based on Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results show significant improvement in terms of RMSE results in comparison with traditional LSRE-SDP and ANLS-SDP methods under high uncertainty.
NETWORK PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT WITH OPTIMIZATION SENSOR PLACEMENT IN WIRELES...ijwmn
From one side, sensor manufacturing technology and from other side wireless communication technology
improvement has an effect on the growth and deployment of Wireless Network Sensor (WSN). The
appropriate performance of WSN has abundant necessity which has dependent on the different parameters
such as optimize sensor placement and structure of network sensor. The optimized placement in WSN not
only would optimize number of sensors, but also help to reach to the more precise information. Therefore
different solutions are proposed to reduce cost and increase life time of sensor networks that most of them
are concentrated in the field of routing and information transmission. In this paper, places which they need
new sensors placement or sensor movements are determined and then with applying these changes,
performance of WSN will calculate. To achieve the optimum placement, the network should evaluate
precisely and effective criteria on the performance should extract. Therefore the criteria should be ranked
and after weighting with using AHP algorithms, with use of Geographical Information System (GIS), these
weighted criteria will combined and in the locations which WSN doesn’t have enough performance, new
sensor placement will create. New proposed method, improve 21.11% performance of WSN with sensor
placement in the low performance locations. Also the number of added sensor is 26.09% which is lowest
number of added sensors in comparison with other methods.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
