Abstract

With the recent advances in RF and MEMS field, the WSN started playing active role in target L&T applications. Basically, localization is an integral part of tracking. The prime objective of wireless-based localization is the determination of the possible locations (localization problem) of the mobile target and its trajectories (tracking problem) with the help of field measurements during the complete period of its motion. Thus, the tracking problem can be considered as the solution of a set of localization problems at successive time intervals. The target L&T in WSN can be achieved with the help of RF, infrared (IR), and ultrasound. However, the RF technology as compared to rest of the others is widely used because of its ability to penetrate smoke, nonmetallic barriers, and walls, making it a best choice for L&T applications. Although Global Positioning System (GPS)-based L&T is popular in day-to-day life, it has several drawbacks. First, the cost of the GPS receiver is approximately three times higher than the cost of a sensor node. Therefore, attaching a GPS receiver to every sensor node in the network is not at all an economical solution. Second, high power consumption is involved during the GPS operation. Third, it can only be used for outdoor environments with sufficient sky visibility. The GPS performs well for a line of sight (LOS) to several satellites; however, maintaining the LOS is generally a rare possibility especially for indoor environments. Additionally, the localization accuracy of GPS is approximately 2.5 m, which is good for navigation along the road (i.e., for outdoor environment). However, such low localization accuracy is not at all sufficient for indoor L&T applications. Therefore, the research trend is to develop innovative, low cost, and low power indoor targets tracking system, which can overcome the drawbacks of GPS-based systems. The most feasible solution in line with this trend is to use the WSN-based system for target L&T.
