IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December Outline Motivation Literature Survey Packet-Based Simulation for Multi-Transceiver Structures Localization Results Summary and Conclusions

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Localization in MANETs: Motivation Providing contextual (location) information to data (motion, light measurement) is important Geographical routing protocols can use localization: ID-to-Location mapping

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Localization Approaches Range-only Orientation-only Using both Using landmarks and mapping (by robotics community)

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Localization Literature Range-only: estimate ranges using power loss measurements, assume simple path RF propagation 3 anchors in 2D, 4 in 3D Saravese 02 introduced a tuning phase Whitehouse 02 used both signal strength and acoustic time of flight

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Localization Literature Orientation-only: Use bearing and sectoring devices Assign a direction to incoming signal Niculescu 03 used a set of ultrasound and an antenna array Found: localization error increases as one goes away from the anchors Hybrid: Akella 07 used FSO to achieve 100% localization extent in a connected graph

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Packet-Based Simulation of FSO- MANETs NS-2 extensions Contributed FSO propagation Accounting for noise Alignment Lists

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December D FSO Localization How to select 2 out of many neighbors? Acceptable, predictable error

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 GPS-Enabled Node Effect Increasing Trend Decreasing Trend

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December 2010 Message Exchange Overhead High localization extent with reasonable overhead

IEEE Globecom OWC, Miami, FL, December Conclusions Introduced optical-only 3-D localization techniques, Provided accuracy results with respect to: Node density GPS-enabled node count Localization overhead Localization is possible using a direction-only approach without extra hardware
