Location estimation in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is mandatory to achieve high network efficiency. Identifying the positions of sensors is an uphill task as monitoring nodes are involved in estimation and localization. Clustered Positioning for Indoor Environment (CPIE) is proposed for estimating the position of the sensors using a Cluster Head (CH) based mechanism. The CH estimates the number of neighbor nodes in each floor of the indoor environment. It sends the requests to the cluster members and the positions are estimated based on the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs) from the members of the cluster. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed for both stable and mobile conditions by varying the number of floors. Experimental results show that the propounded scheme offers better network efficiency and reduces delay and localization error

Indoor positioning systems have received increasing attention for supporting location-based services in indoor environments. Received signal strength (RSS), mostly utilized in Wi-Fi fingerprinting systems, is known to be unreliable due to two reasons: orientation mismatch and variations in hardware. This chapter introduces an approach based on histogram equalization to compensate for orientation mismatch in robust Wi-Fi localization. The proposed method involves converting the temporal-spatial radio signal strength into a reference function (i.e., equalizing the histogram). This chapter also introduces an enhanced positioning feature, which is called delta-fused principal strength, to enhance the robustness of Wi-Fi localization against the problem of heterogeneous hardware. This algorithm computes the pairwise delta RSS and then integrates with RSS using principal component analysis. The proposed methods effectively and efficiently improve the robustness of location estimation in the presence of mismatch orientation and hardware variations, respectively.
