Abstract
Research of target localization and tracking is always a remarkable problem in the application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) technology. There are many kinds of research and applications of target localization and tracking, such as Angle of Arrival (AOA), Time of Arrival (TOA), and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA). The target localization accuracy for TOA, TDOA, and AOA is better than RSS. However, the required devices in the TOA, TDOA, and AOA are more expensive than RSS. In addition, the computational complexity of TOA, TDOA, and AOA is also more complicated than RSS. This paper uses a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the received signal strength index (RSSI) channel model for indoor target localization and tracking. The performance of eight different method combinations of random or regular points, fixed or adaptive weights, and the region segmentation method (RSM) proposed in this paper for target localization and tracking is investigated for the number of particles in the PSO algorithm with 12, 24, 52, 72, and 100. The simulation results show that the proposed RSM method can reduce the number of particles used in the PSO algorithm and improve the speed of positioning and tracking without affecting the accuracy of target localization and tracking. The total average localization time for target localization and tracking with the RSM method can be reduced by 48.95% and 34.14%, respectively, and the average accuracy of target tracking reaches up to 93.09%.
