This paper presents positioning results determined by a multi-layer, packet based OMNet++ simulator for communication and positioning in an autonomous wireless sensor network. The simulator includes an IR-UWB physical layer model considering the impact of multi-user interference, a highly flexible MAC layer which performs physical layer adaptations to optimize the total link performance, and a ranging and positioning module. We will give an estimation of the positioning accuracy of the system by considering ideal, LOS and NLOS channel conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
