Abstract

Locations of positioned nodes as well as gathered data from nodes are very important because generally multiple nodes are deployed randomly and data are gathered in wireless sensor network. Since the nodes composing wireless sensor network are low cost and low performance devices, it is very difficult to add specially designed devices for positioning into the nodes. Therefore in wireless sensor network, technology positioning nodes precisely using low cost is very important and valuable. This research proposes Cooperative Positioning System, which raises accuracy of location positioning and also can find positions on multiple sensors within limited times. And this research verifies this technology is excellent in terms of performance, accuracy, and scalability through simulation.

일반적으로 무선 센서 네트워크는 다수의 노드들을 무작위로 배포하여 데이터를 수집하기 때문에 각 노드로부터 수집되는 데이터뿐만 아니라 계측하는 노드의 위치 또한 매우 중요하다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들은 저비용, 저성능의 장치들로 구성되어 있어 위치 측정을 위한 전용 장치를 노드에 추가하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 그러므로 무선센서 네트워크에서 저비용으로 노드의 위치를 정확히 측정하는 것은 매우 중요한 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 위치 측정의 정확성을 높이고, 다수의 센서에 대해서도 정해진 시간 내에 위치를 결정할 수 있는 확장 가능한 상호 협력 위치 측정 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 성능, 정확성, 확장성이 우수함을 보였다.
