Preface


Due to the availability of such low energy cost sensors, micro processor and radio frequency circuitry for information transmission, there is a wide and rapid diffusion of wireless sensor network (WSN). Since the sensor node is equipped with sensing, processing, and communication modules, the WSN can be used in smart environment for some practical purposes. And WSN is the basic infrastructure of many smart environmental monitoring applications.

Localization is one of the most important subjects. The WSN based localization strategy has the features of good flexibility, convenient maintenance, and low-cost updates. So WSNs are increasingly being used. If line of sight (LOS) propagation existed between unknown node and all beacon nodes, high location accuracy can be achieved. However, in certain environments, especially in indoor areas, the direct path from the unknown node to a beacon is blocked by obstacles, the signal measurements include an error due to the excess path traveled because of the reflection or diffusion of signal, which is termed as the NLOS error. The NLOS error results in the large location estimation error. Therefore the research on the localization in the NLOS environment remains a challenge topic and has highly practical meaning. The contents of the book are organized into six chapters.

In chapter 1, the mean shift-based mobile localization method in mixed LOS/NLOS environments for wireless sensor network is introduced. In chapter 2 is about the essential ones of mean shift-based multi-source localization method in wireless binary sensor network. In chapter 3 is about the essential ones of the mobile localization method. In chapter 4, the essential ones of studying on a mobile localization strategy for wireless sensor network in NLOS conditions. The chapter 5 is about a robust localization algorithm based on NLOS identification for wireless sensor network. The chapter 6 is about an indoor localization algorithm based on IMM in mixed LOS/NLOS environments. The last chapter is about the indoor robust localization algorithm based on data association technique.

I wanted to thank the authors of the book chapters, especially Rui Men, Hongwei Li, Wei Gong, Rui Zhang, Meiju Liu, Xiaoxi Tian, Jialin Sun, Ying Zhang, Jing Hou, because they offered to the technology of the wireless sensor networks applied to many areas of the latest progress and the existing challenges.
