Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 資訊工程系 === 96 === It is often useful to know the geographic positions of nodes in a commu-
nications network, but adding GPS receivers or other sophisticated sensors to
every node can be expensive. We present an algorithm that uses connectivity
information: who is within communications range of whom, to derive the rel-
ative relation of the nodes in the network. The method can take advantage of
additional information, such relative neighbourhood graph, if it is available.
Di?erent fromordinary position algorithmwith nodes of known coordinates,
the position method without sensors of known nodal coordinates is just in its
beginning status. So far as we know, the existed related algorithms all focus on
measuring distance to estimate relative relation of sensors. In this thesis, we
propose a technique that uses RSS and Voronoi diagram to derive the relative
relation of the nodes in the network. The integration of these two methods is to
estimate connectivity between sensor nodes. We try to get a more ideal result.
All details are explained on following pages.
