PROTOTYPE OVERVIEW In ou p o o ype (Fig. 1), a building o o he a ea is popula ed wi h a numbe o mo es ac ing as ixed nodes, one o hem being he coo dina o , C, and a se o mo es as mobile nodes, he ones whose posi ion is going o be de e mined. Each ixed node sends o C pe iodic beacon messages, beacon 2, which consis o an n- uple o he o ma {MobileID, RSSI}, whe e n is he numbe o mobile nodes, MobileID is a unique iden i ie o a mobile node, and RSSI is he signal s eng h which each ixed node ecei ed he las beacon message sen by MobileID node. The beacon message sen by a mobile node is di e en om he one sen by a ixed node, o di e one om o he s, he mobile node beacon messages a e called beacon 1. No all ixed mo es ecei e beacon 1 messages, and his depends on he co e age a ea. In his case hey send a beacon 2 wi h a ze o alue in RSSI co esponding o ha mobile node. Fig. 1 Sys em O e iew. M1 is a mobile node, F1-F5 a e ixed nodes, and C is he coo dina o , also a ixed node. M1 pe iodically sends a beacon message, beacon 1, o in o m he o he s node ha is p esen , all ixed node ha ecei es i , sa e he RSSI o ha message in a able. Fixed node pe iodically sends a message o C, beacon 2, o in o m abou he RSSI ha hey ecei e om mobiles node, M1 in his case. The loca ion es ima ion p oblem consis s o a wo-phase p ocess: an o line collec ion o e e ence signa u es o se he signa u e da abase, ollowed by an online loca ion whe e he mobile nodes posi ion a e es ima ed. A. O line Phase As in o he signa u e-based sys ems, he e e ence signa u e da abase, R, in he o -line phase, is acqui ed manually by a use wi h a mobile node and a PC connec ed o C. The e e ence signa u e da abase consis s o a numbe o e e ence signa u es. Each e e ence signa u e, shown as black do s in Fig. 1, is o med by a se o signa u e uples o he o ma {sou ce ID, mean RSSI}, whe e sou ce ID is he ixed node ID and mean RSSI is he mean RSSI o a se o beacon messages ecei ed o e some ime in e al. The mean RSSI is used because i is he way Mo eT ack did, bu i is possible o use ano he c i e ia. Each signa u e is mapped o a known loca ion by he use acqui ing he signa u e da abase (P1-P5 in Fig. 1). B. Online Phase In he online phase, gi en a mobile node’s ecei ed signa u e, s, ecei ed om he ixed nodes, and he e e ence signa u e se R, he mobile node’s loca ion can be es ima ed in he ollowing way.

We es ed ou p o o ype in he Li ing Lab in Mad id wi hou s udying deeply he igh combina ion o hem in ha en i onmen . In his sec ion we explain he me hodology ollowed o ga he he da a in o de o make simula ions o es which pa ame e s a e he mos app op ia es, o achie e he bes esul s, i.e., o imp o e he esul s ob ained in he E AAL compe i ion. The whole me hodology applied is shown in Figu e 6. Fi s we go om he WSN, using he p o o ype so wa e, o each poin in he signa u es da abase a se o samples, samples da abase, in o de o de e mine la e i s signa u e by using.

I o ien a ion is global i means ha he sample was sa ed while he mobile mo e was u ning a ound. In his way, di e en signa u es da abase can be calcula ed acco ding o di e se c i e ia. Fo acking pu pose, some ex a poin s we e aken, in his case, he o ien a ion was no global. A acking applica ion was also de eloped o de ine di e en acks o es .

V. SIMULATIONS Se e al es s ha e been made. Fo each one, a speci ic da abase, ack and algo i hm we e ied. The mos signi ican change among di e en simula ion es s is how he signa u e da abase poin s we e calcula ed. Fi s ly, wo kinds o signa u e da abase we e possible, one global and he o he di ec ional (no h, wes , sou h, eas ). Secondly, each poin in he signa u e da abase was se calcula ing he mean, mode, max, min, e c, o all he sample poin s acqui ed p e iously.

Manage all hese esul s app op ia ely, we go he nex conclusions. VI. CONCLUSIONS Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 shows espec i ely o a pa ame e c=1.3 he esul s ob ained using he same ack wi h a signa u e da abase global o he signa u e da abase di ec ional. The abo e g aphic in Figs. 7 and 8 ep esen s he ela ionship be ween he sample dispe sion in pe cen age and he e o made in cen ime es. This shows ha he elec ion o a speci ic da abase oge he wi h a good coe icien c migh imp o e he esul s. The g aphics below ep esen s he success in AOI. The sco e was simila o he E AAL compe i ion. 0 ailed, 1 success, and 0.5 ailed bu i was in a suba ea in he AOI. The conclusions a e he same, changing pa ame e s migh imp o e esul s. In o de o compa e adequa ely he di e en combina ions and o de e mine he bes , we decided o use he e o made in he 75 h pe cen ile, i.e., he same c i e ia used in E AAL compe i ion. In Fig. 9 i is shown among all he es s made, he one Communica ions in In o ma ion Science and Managemen Enginee ing Sep . 2013, Vol. 3 Iss. 9, PP. 431-438 - 436 - which e o was below 365 cen ime es and in Fig. 10, i is shown he success in AOI o he bes esul s. The bes esul s a e ob ained using a global signa u e da abase, whe e he poin s in i a e calcula ed using he medium o he squa es o samples da abase wi h c=1.3 and he medium o samples da abase wi h c=1.4. The e o is espec i ely, 360 cm and 361 cm. Al hough in he i s case, he e o is less, i does no imply a be e esul in he AOI success as shown in Figu e 10. Tha is no w ong because one calcula ed coo dina e could be close o he eal one bu ha coo dina e belongs o ano he AOI. So i can be concluded ha using a global da abase using he medium o samples wi h c=1.3, he esul s ob ained in he E AAL compe i ion a e imp o ed in one me e . Finally, we ealized ha we did no measu e co ec ly he e o made by ou p o o ype and he i s Li ing Lab emula ion we made when we es ed i be o e he compe i ion day, ha is why ou sco e in accu acy was wo se han we expec ed.
