  Abstract

The IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor network is composed of the unique sensor devices to monitor and collect physical or environmental conditions. The interests in a positioning technology, which is one of the environment monitoring technologies, are gradually increased according to the development of the sensor technology and IT infrastructure. Generally, it is difficult for the positioning system using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) based implementation to get accurate position because of obstacles, RF wave’s delay and multipath. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the improved positioning technologies for RSSI-based positioning system. This paper also proposes the enhanced scheme to improve the accuracy of positioning system by applying the Gaussian Filter algorithm, which is widely used for enhancing the performance of image processing system.For the implementation of proposed scheme, we firstly make a look-up tables, which represent the distance between target node and master node and corresponding RSSI value of each target node which are recorded as an average value after investigating the characteristics of attenuation of transmitted signal. By applying the pre-determined look-up tables and Gaussian Filtering in the proposed scheme, we analyzed the positioning performance and compared with other conventional RSSI-based positioning algorithms.
