본 논문에서는 비등방성 센서 네트워크에서 노드 간 연결 정보만을 이용하여 일반노드의 위치를 찾는 다중 홉 Range-free 측위 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 측위 알고리즘에서 일반노드는 자신과 앵커노드 쌍이 이루는 최단경로의 측정 홉 수와 기대 홉 수를 비교하여 최단경로의 우회 정도를 측정하고, 우회 정도에 따라 자신으로부터 앵커노드까지의 거리를 추정한다. 일반노드는 이러한 과정을 네트워크의 모든 앵커노드 쌍에 대하여 반복하며, 획득한 거리 정보를 사용하여 위치를 추정한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 Range-free 알고리즘에 비해 적은 수의 앵커노드를 필요로 하며, 적은 통신 오버헤드를 갖는다. 마지막으로 성능평가를 위하여 MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 기존의 Range-free 측위 알고리즘에 비해 향상된 위치정확도를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 노드의 위치정보를 측정함에 있어 거리정보에 기반을 두지 않은 방식(range-free)에서의 라우팅 에너지 효율성을 개선한 ALPS(Ad hoc network Localized Positioning System) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안되는 ALPS 알고리즘은 계층적 클러스터 단위에 소속된 임의의 노드에 대한 위치정보를 RSSI(Received signal strength indication)에 의해 상대적 위치정보를 제공하는 방법이다. 제안된 알고리즘에 따른 위치정보를 사용 할 경우 기존의 DV-hop방식에 따른 노드의 평균 위치정보를 사용한 경우보다 계층적 좌표 방식에 의한 제안된 방식이 보다 최적화된 에너지 소모를 유지할 수 있는 경로 알고리즘을 제공하게 된다. 제공된 알고리즘의 성능 분석을 위해 본 논문에서는 상기 두 가지 방식의 위치정보에 따른 라우팅에서 소모되는 에너지 관계를 비교 하였고, 이로부터 보다 최적화된 에너지 경로 관리가 되는 결과를 보여주었다.

Range-free localization algorithm computes a normal node's position by estimating the distance to anchors which know their actual position. In recent years, reliable anchor selection research has been gained a lot of attention because this approach improves localization accuracy by selecting the only subset of anchors called reliable anchor. The distance estimation accuracy and the geometric shape formed by anchors are the two important factors which need to be considered when selecting the reliable anchors. In this paper, we study the relationship between a relative position of three anchors and localization error. From this study, under ideal condition, which is with zero localization error, we find two conditions for anchor selection, thereby proposing a novel anchor selection algorithm that selects three anchors matched most closely to the two conditions, and the validities of the conditions are proved using two theorems. By further employing the conditions, we finally propose a novel range-free localization algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm shows considerably improved performance as compared to other existing works.

Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for several location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of the hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point to point distance estimates. Because coarse accuracy is sufficient for most sensor network applications, solutions in range-free localization are being pursued as a cost-effective alternative to more expensive range-based approaches. In this paper, we proposed a modified DV-Hop (range-free localization) algorithm which reduces node's location error and cumulated distance error by minimizing localization error. Simulation results have verified the high estimation accuracy with our approach which outperforms the classical DV-Hop.

This paper describes the mechanism, guidance, sensor system, and navigation algorithm of METRO, a free ranging mobile robot. METRO is designed for use in structured surroundings or factory environments rather than unstructured natural environments. An overview of the physical configuration of the mobile robot is presented as well as a description of its sensor system, an omnidirectional laser range finder. Except for the global path planning algorithm, a guidance and a navigation algorithm with a local path planning algorithm are used to navigate the mobile robot. In METRO the computer support is divided into a supervisor with image processing and local path planning and a slave with motor control. The free ranging mobile robot is self-controlled and all processing being performed on board.

A new local path planning algorithm for free-ranging robots is proposed. Considering that a laser range finder has the excellent resolution with respect to angular and distance measurements, a simple local path planning algorithm is achieved by a directional weighting method for obtaining a heading direction of nobile robot. The directional weighting method decides the heading direction of the mobile robot by estimating the attractive resultant force which is obtained by directional weighting function times range data, and testing whether the collision-free path and the copen parthway conditions are satisfied. Also, the effectiveness of the established local path planning algorithm is estimated by computer simulation in complex environment.

DV-Hop 위치 인식 기법은 노드가 균일하게 배치된 등방성 토폴로지에서 제안된 알고리즘이다. 노드 간 거리는 홉 수에 비례해서 증가하는 환경에서 홉 당 평균 거리를 사용해서 노드 간 거리를 추정한다. 하지만, 노드의 배치가 균일하지 않아 노드 간 거리가 홉 수에 비례하여 증가하지 않는 환경에서는 DV-hop 기법의 위치 추정의 정확도는 상당히 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 배치가 불균일한 비등방성 네트워크에서도 위치 추정의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 비등방성 네트워크에서는 노드 간 경로의 형태가 곡선인 경우가 많기 때문에 노드 간의 거리 추정을 위해 필요한 홉 당 평균 거리가 홉 수 별로 다르다. 이에 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 앵커노드가 홉 수 별로 홉 당 평균 거리를 구하고, 일반 노드는 이러한 정보를 각 앵커노드로부터 전달받아, 앵커노드와 떨어진 홉 수에 따라 다른 홉 당 거리를 사용해 보다 정확하게 위치를 추정하도록 한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 DV-Hop 알고리즘과의 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 우수성을 보인다.

A sensor network is composed of a large number of sensor nodes that are densely deployed in a field. Each sensor performs a sensing task for detection specific events. After detecting this event, location information of the sensor node is very important. Range-based scheme of the proposed approaches typically achieve high accuracy on either node-to-node distances or angles, but this scheme have a drawback because all sensor nodes have the special hardware. On the other hand, range-free scheme provides economic advantage because of no needed hardware even if that leads to coarse positioning accuracy. In this paper, we propose a range-free localization algorithm without range information in wireless sensor networks. This is a range-free approach and uses a small number of anchor nodes and known sensor nodes. This paper develops a localization mechanism using the geometry conjecture (perpendicular bisector of a chord). The conjecture states that a perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.

This paper proposes a real-time dynamic storage allocation algorithm QSHF(quick-segregated-half-fit) that provides various memory allocation policies. that manages a free block list per each word size for memory requests of small size good(segregated)-fit policy that manages a free list per proper range size for medium size requests and half-fit policy that manages a free list per proper range size for medium size requests and half-fit policy that manages a free list per each power of 2 size for large size requests. The proposed algorithm has the time complexit O(1) and makes us able to easily estimate the worst case execution time(WCET). This paper also suggests two algorithm that finds the proper free list for the requested memory size in predictable time and if the found list is empty then finds next available non-empty free list in fixed time. In order to confirm efficiency of the proposed algorithm we simulated the memory utilization of each memory allocation policy. The simulation result showed that each policy guarantees the constant WCET regardless of memory size but they have trade-off between memory utilization and list management overhead.

In this paper, a novel range-free localization algorithm for anisotropic networks is proposed. In the proposed method, the characteristics of the given network are considered and each sensor node estimates the relation between the hop counts and the geographical distances. Unlike most of the previous localization algorithms, the proposed method performs well not only in the isotropic network but also in the anisotropic networks. The proposed method is applied to both isotropic and anisotropic network topologies and the simulation results demonstrate that the method exhibits excellent and robust performances.
