E N D
The Problem • The determination of the geographical locations of sensor nodes • Why do we need Localization? • Manual configurations of locations is not feasible for large-scale WSNs • Location information is necessary for some applications and services, e.g. geographical routing • Providing each sensor with localization hardware (e.g., GPS) is expensive in terms of cost and energy consumption
Localization • In some applications, it is essential for each node to know its location • Global Positioning System (GPS) is not always possible • GPS cannot work indoors • GPS power consumption is very high
Solutions • Range-based • Use exact measurements (point-to-point distance estimate (range) or angle estimates) • More expensive • Ranging: the process of estimating the distance between the pair of nodes • Range-free • Only need the existences of beacon signals • Cost-effective alternative to range-based solutions
Localization Algorithms in WSNs • Beacon Nodes know their locations • Range-based Algorithms • Sensor nodes need to measure physical distance-related properties • How to measure distance • RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) • ToA (Time of Arrival) • TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) • How to estimate location • MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Estimation) • Range Free Algorithms • Do Not involve distance estimation
Range-based Solutions - MMSE • MMSE: • Minimum Mean Square Estimation
Ideally, ei should be 0 Range-based Solutions - MMSE
Range-based Solutions - MMSE • Rearrange the previous equations, we have • We have N equations
Range-based Solutions - MMSE • Eliminate , we get the following N-1 equations • Hx = z
Range-based Solutions - MMSE • x • Solution
Range-free Approach - Centroid • Ref[Loc_1], Section 2.1
Security Concerns in WSNs • Secure Localization Problem • Secure Localization Solutions
Secure Localization • Attack-resistant Minimum Mean Square Estimation • Ref[Loc_2]
Minimum Mean Square Estimation • The more inconsistent a set of location references is, the greater the corresponding mean square error should be • Ref[Loc_2], Section 2
Minimum Mean Square Estimation • τis important: Depend on many factors
How to Decide the set of Consistent Location References? • Given a set L of n location references and a threshold τ • Optimal solution • Greedy solution
How to decide τ? • Measurement error model • How to obtain? • Study the distribution of the mean square error when there are no malicious attacks
Iterative Refinement • The larger the number of cells • More state variables need to be kept • The smaller each cell will be – precision • Iterative Refinement • Initially, the number of cells is chosen based on memory constraints • After the first round, the node may perform the voting process on the smallest rectangle that contains all the cells having the largest vote
