摘要
In this paper, we analyze the accuracy of indoor localization measurement based on a wireless sensor network. The position estimation procedure is based on the received-signal-strength measurements collected in a real indoor environment. Two different classes of low-computational-effort algorithms based on the centroid concept are considered, i.e., the weighted centroid localization method and the relative-span exponential weighted localization method. In particular, different sources of measurement uncertainty are analyzed by means of theoretical simulations and experimental results.
