Abstract

Localization algorithm is very important in node localization. The received signal strength (RSS) can be used to reduce positioning time. In this paper, an improved weighted centroid localization algorithm based on RSSI (IWCL-RSSI) is proposed for an indoor localization. Theoretical analysis shows know that the proposed algorithm has the advantage of lower complexity, less prior information and lower power consumption. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is more accurate than AMWCL-RSSI (anchor_optimized modified weighted centroid localization algorithm based on RSSI), and at least as good as WCL (weighted centroid localization) in terms of the localization accuracy. Real experimental results show that IWCL-RSSI is better than WCL in terms of the localization accuracy.
