In this work, a new approach is proposed to solve cooperative localization problems in wireless sensor networks for both one-hop and multi-hop cases. To find the unknown positions of randomly distributed sensors with limited power and communication ability, noisy inter-sensor distances and anchor node positions are used. In a plane, when the distances between a sensor and at least three neighbor anchors are known, it is possible to find the sensor position by solving a linear set of equations. However, for networks having few number of anchors, the problem becomes a non-convex optimization problem and it is NP(Nondeterministic-polinomial) hard. In this paper, alternating minimization algorithm is proposed to overcome this difficulty. With this approach, the non-convex localization problem is converted into a convex form and it converges to the optimum solution being solved iteratively. Different problem scenarios are considered and effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown by considering several experiments.

MULTI-GROUP MULTICAST BEAMFORMING FOR SIMULTANEOUS WIRELESS INFORMATION AND POWER TRANSFER
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-09-04)
In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) concept is introduced for multi group multicast beamforming. Each user has a single antenna and a power splitter which divides the radio frequency (RF) signal into two for both information decoding and energy harvesting. The aim is to minimize the total transmission power at the base station while satisfying both signal-to-interference-plus- noise-ratio (SINR) and harvested power constraints at each user. Unlike unicast and certain ...

Antepli, Mehmet Akif; Gurbuz, Sevgi Zubeyde; Uysal, Elif (2010-11-03)
This work attempts to address challenges of using magnetic sensors for target detection, localization and tracking with a wireless sensor network (WSN). A WSN comprised of magnetic sensors was constructed to investigate the modeling, detection, and localization of ferrous targets. The system was established as a centralized tree-based wireless network with a PC acting as the fusion center. A heavy cylindrical iron bar was used as a test target and modeled as a magnetic dipole. The magnetic signal models use...

Wireless sensor networks suffer from some limitations such as energy constraints and the cooperative demands essential to perform multi-hop geographic routing for real-time applications. Quality of Service (QoS) depends to a great extent on offering participating nodes an incentive for collaborating. In this paper, we present a novel traffic model for a new-generation of sensor networks that supports a wide range of communication-intensive real-time multimedia applications. The model is used to investigate ...
Path Planning and Localization for Mobile Anchor Based Wireless Sensor Networks
Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2017-09-02)
In wireless sensor networks, anchor positions play an important role for accurate localization. For mobile anchor ( MA) based scenarios, both the efficiency of the path planning algorithm and the accuracy of the localization mechanism are critical for the best performance. In this work, an adaptive path planning algorithm is proposed based on Gauss-Markov mobility model, while the sensors are localized using alternating minimization approach. Path planning, which combines the velocity adjustment, the perpen...
