A decentralised low-power ZigBee-based localisation approach
conference contribution
posted on 2010-01-11, 12:21 authored by Tareq Ali Alhmiedat, Shuang-Hua YangWireless sensor networks have been deployed
widely. Sensor networks involve sensor nodes which are
very small in size, low in cost, and have a short battery-life.
One of the critical wireless sensor network applications is
localisation and tracking mobile sensor nodes. ZigBee is a
new, emerging technology for low rate, low power, and low
range communication networks, which aims to provide long
battery life for network devices. In this paper, we propose a
decentralised ZigBee-based tracking system to detect and
track the location of mobile nodes indoors. End-devices
have limited connection capabilities which cause a problem
in localisation. End-devices are collaborated in the tracking
process in order to reduce the power-consumption for
ZigBee networks. The proposed tracking system can be
deployed in an area where the density of router nodes is
very low. The tracking system is implemented by ZigBee
sensor devices, and experiments have been done to evaluate
the proposed tracking system based on battery life and
communication cost.
