ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network with Relative Proximity Estimation Capability
Authors: ,
Abstract: The ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 Standard is very useful for the design of low-power wireless sensors. However, these devices lack the ability to determine their location with respect to other nodes within the wireless network. Such information may be beneficial for applications like smart home automation. The objective of this work is to develop a set of wireless sensor/actuator modules that utilize integrator-based sensors to collect measurement data between transmission bursts as well as received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) to perform triangulation-based proximity estimation with respect to other ZigBee modules. This triangulation technique employs an innovative method to assign and reassign the parent/router of an end node through network configuration and forced radio resets.
