Título Platform for Experimenting Sensor Nodes Localization in WSN with UAV Acting as Mobile Agent
Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become two established technologies for applications such as monitoring, event detection, target tracking and remote sensing. WSN usually consists of hundreds and thousands of battery powered tiny devices that measure and collect data from its surrounding environment and forward it to a base station or sink. UAVs are a great platform for collecting remote data and can easily carry and deploy sensor nodes. The present research work focuses on the development of a platform for experimenting sensor nodes localization in WSN, specially the experimental validation of the so-called Efficient Geometrybased Localization (EGL) technique, which provides a flexible, scalable, and distributed way to localize static sensor nodes on an experimental field. The mobile sink node will be carried by an UAV system with autonomous flight embedded with a low cost Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. Experimental results, carried out with the developed platform, comparing localization with standalone GNSS and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS technique validate the EGL technique at the end.
