Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) consists of a group of nodes that analyze the information from surrounding regions. The sensor nodes are responsible for accumulating and exchanging information. Generally, node localization is the process of identifying the target node’s location. In this research work, a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)-based optimal node localization approach is proposed to solve the complexities in the conventional node localization models. Initially, the RSSI value is identified using the Deep Neural Network (DNN). The RSSI is conceded as the range-based method and it does not require special hardware for the node… More >

Abstract Due to the inability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to penetrate through surfaces like roofs, walls, and other objects in indoor environments, numerous alternative methods for user positioning have been presented. Amongst those, the Wi-Fi fingerprinting method has gained considerable interest in Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) as the need for line-of-sight measurements is minimal, and it achieves better efficiency in even complex indoor environments. Offline and online are the two phases of the fingerprinting method. Many researchers have highlighted the problems in the offline phase as it deals with huge datasets and validation… More >
