Recursive position estimation in sensor networks
Abstract
Recursive hierarchy provides a framework for extending position estimation throughout a sensor network. Given imprecise ranging and inter-node communication, nodes scattered throughout a large volume can estimate their physical locations from a small set of reference nodes using only local information. System coverage increases iteratively, as nodes with newly estimated positions join the reference set, capitalizing on the massive scale of sensor networks. The system frames position estimation as a geometric problem solvable through common nonlinear regression techniques and develops methods for gauging the reliability of position estimates. This provides a flexible framework that can use and enhance a variety of technologies and protocols to produce fine-grained position estimates. A specific model provides a simulation environment showing that over 90% of position estimates are correct to within 3% of the ranging distance with only 5% of the system in the initial reference set.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
