Abstract

The design of an indoor sensor network to support localization-based services is a challenging issue in that the protocols and localization algorithms have to be adapted to the capabilities of resources-constrained sensor nodes. Furthermore, the achieved position accuracy depends on many factors like the amount of signaling and quality of inter-node measurements, as well as the mathematical algorithm used for estimating the position. In this paper we present experiences and considerations in the design of such systems for IEEE 802.15.4 indoor sensor networks.
