Neuro-fuzzy localization in wireless sensor networks

Indoor localization is a basic process in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) monitoring. This paper presents a new approach for localization of mobile nodes in WSNs. The proposed approach is based on the design of an adaptive fuzzy localization system. First proposed contribution is to consider the rooms of the target environment as a fuzzy sets made by adjacent zones described by a Fuzzy Location Indicator (FLI). FLI provides a fuzzy linearization of the building map hence the creation of a fuzzy linguistic model of the system. Fingerprints are collected from different anchors (RSSi) according to each FLI. A Sugeno type-0 fuzzy inference system is proposed and submitted to a supervised learning through the neuro-fuzzy ANFIS algorithm. Simulation results as well as experimentations in Cynapsys company premises have proved that a good learning process leads to high success rate.
