Abstract:

Location technology based on received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging is a kind of low-cost location technology. In order to reduce the error of RSSI value due to environmental factors, this paper proposes an improved weighted Gaussian filtering algorithm which is used to deal with the RSSI value, and it also proposes an adaptive estimation algorithm for weighted environment parameter which is used to estimate the environmental parameters of the place where the mobile node to be located is. Then the path loss model is determined by the estimated environment parameters, and the location of the mobile node is estimated by the model. Experimental results show that the method can effectively improve the positioning accuracy of the system.

Key words: received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging, improved weighted Gaussian filtering, weighted environment parameter, adaptive estimation
