Outline • Motivation • Observation on GreenOrbs • Design of CDL • Evaluation • Ongoing work of GreenOrbs
Existing approaches (1) • GPS • Problems with tree covers • Range-Based Approaches • TOA, TDOA, AOA • Require extra hardware support • Expensive in manufactory cost and energy consumption • RSSI-based • Based on the log-normal shadowing model • Inaccurate due to channel noise, interference, attenuation, reflection, and environmental dynamics
Existing approaches (2) • Range-Free Approaches • Rely on connectivity measurements • The accuracy is affected by node density and network conditions • RSD (SenSys’09) • Regulated signature distance • SISR (MobiCom’09) • Merely differentiate good and bad links DV-Hop

Design of CDL Range-free localization: virtual-hop Local filtration: two types of matching Calibration: weighted robust estimation
DV-Hop r 4 When non-uniform deployment is present, nodes with equal hop- counts often have different distances to the landmark(s). 1 2 7 3 1 4 3 5 2 4 8 3 3 6 4 4 5
Virtual-hop localization For a node, its number of previous-hop or next-hop neighbors reflects the relative distance from the node to its parent node.
Virtual-hop vs. DV-hop Compared with DV-hop, Virtual-hop reduces the localization errors by 10%~99%.
Local filtration (1) Indiscriminate calibration probably reduces localization accuracy.
Local filtration (2) • Bad nodes exhibit more mismatches • Neighborhood hop-count matching • Compare the real hop-distance with the one calculated using estimated node coordinates (a) A good node with one bad neighbor (b) A bad node with six good neighbors
Local filtration (3) • Neighborhood sequence matching Matching degree Compare RSSI sequence with estimated distance sequence
Local filtration (4) • According to the matching degree, we sort nodes into three classes • Good • Bad • Undetermined
Ranging-Quality Aware Calibration The basic objective function in LSE RQAC • Weight good nodes by good neighbors • Differentiates links with different ranging qualities
Outline • Motivation • Observation on GreenOrbs • Design of CDL • Evaluation • Ongoing work of GreenOrbs
Evaluation • Setup • Experiments • 100 GreenOrbs nodes (4 landmarks) • Simulations • Randomly deploy 200~1000 nodes • A 500*500m2 square region • Transmission range: 30m
Efficiency of iteration The number of good nodes quickly increases as iterations go on.
Impact of environmental factors Humidity has a positive impact on the localization accuracy of all the four approaches.
Impact of system parameters Increasing node density or landmarks yields better localization accuracy.
Summary of CDL GreenOrbs • A most challenging scenario of WSN localization Our belief: ranging quality is two-folded • The location accuracy of the reference nodes • The accuracy of range measurements Combined and Differentiated Localization • VH localization addresses non-uniform deployment • Filtration picks good nodes with good location accuracy • RQAC emphasizes the contribution of the best range measurements
