Abstract
With the advent of IoT-based technologies, communication of everyday objects with the Internet and with each other has become a reality which resulted in the creation of new research areas such as location-aware routing and location-based services. These concepts are also described as the ability to locate a mobile user geographically and offer services to the user based on their location. Besides, accurate positioning of network components in wireless networks is desirable for building intelligent networks, energy preserving routing, and providing improved network lifetime. In this study, we have conducted empirical studies on positioning of ZigBee-based sensor nodes. Results indicate that time of flight-based positioning provides better distance estimates than receiver signal strength-based positioning. Findings of this study can be used to develop more realistic data routing algorithms and improve node positioning. Tables 2.1 shows the list of abbreviations used in this chapter.
