Initial Evaluation of ZigLoc: Anchor-Free Sensor Localization System using WiFi Fingerprints

Sensor network plays an important role to retrieve environmental information for IoT (Internet of Things). To minimize deployment cost of large scale indoor sensor networks, we are developing ZigLoc, a sensor localization system that requires no anchor deployment. In ZigLoc, sensor location is estimated using WiFi fingerprints, which are collected for a WiFi localization system. This paper briefly describes concepts of ZigLoc as well as our previous works for ZigLoc, and reports an initial experimental result.
