Application du TBM pour la localisation de nœuds de communication à partir de mesures de proximité Application of the TBM to the communication nodes localization using proximity measures

and key words Materials localization on a site under contruction (a building for instance) is very important from an economical point of view. RFID systems and localization systems as GPS allow to treat such a problem in the more general context of randomly distributed communication nodes localization. When the nodes are moving the problem is still more complicated. The work exposed in this paper shows how the Transferable Belief Model be used for the detection of potential movements. This study also show how to deal with the calculation.
