A Comprehensive Methodology To Evaluate The Performance Of A Cooperative Wireless Network, Aykut Kalaycioğlu, Ahmet Akbulut, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Di̇lek Arslan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Performance evaluation of a cooperative wireless communication network depends on several parameters. Many of the studies, in fact, take a limited number of performance metrics individually to reach a conclusion about the performance of a network. Besides, in general, some performance metrics might be in conflict. Thus, ignoring the combined effect of all performance criteria in the network may lead to an incorrect conception of the overall communication performance of the network. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive evaluation methodology in terms of various metrics is proposed to calculate the performance of a cooperative wireless communication network deployment using a …
Wireless Sensor Localization Using Enhanced Dv-Aoa Algorithm, Peter Brida, Juraj Machaj, Jozef Benikovsky
Wireless Sensor Localization Using Enhanced Dv-Aoa Algorithm, Peter Brida, Juraj Machaj, Jozef Benikovsky
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we deal with the improvement of the positioning accuracy of distance vector (DV)-based positioning algorithms, which use angular information DV- angle of arrival (AoA). This algorithm belongs to an ad-hoc positioning system. We focus on the improvement of the algorithm and its enhanced version is presented. The angular information of particular nodes is obtained and processed by the original algorithm; however, the final position estimation is determined by the proposed novel algorithm using only a subset of all intersections. We assign weights to the individual intersections according to their positions and the positions of the RNs. For …

Fault Tolerant Broadcasting Analysis In Wireless Monitoring Networks, Akbar Ghaffarpour Rahbar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Wireless monitoring networks can be used for security applications such as the monitoring of narrow passages and operational fields. These networks can be designed based on sensor networks. In sensor networks, each node can hear a message and broadcast the message to its neighbor nodes. Nevertheless, nodes may fail, so that faulty nodes cannot hear or cannot transmit any message, where the locations of the faulty nodes are unknown and their failures are permanent. In this paper, the nodes are situated on a line or a square grid-based topology in a plane for security/monitoring applications. For each topology, 2 nonadaptive …
Horizontal Dilution Of Precision-Based Ultra-Wideband Positioning Technique For Indoor Environments, Kerem Küçük
Horizontal Dilution Of Precision-Based Ultra-Wideband Positioning Technique For Indoor Environments, Kerem Küçük
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology provides considerable performance in many indoor localization problems thanks to its very wide spectrum and high-resolution characteristics. In this paper, we propose using the horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP) to decrease the localization error in indoor environments for UWB localization systems. To achieve this aim, first we determine the positioning accuracy of a commercially available UWB positioning system using laboratory experiments. Next, the results of the position estimations obtained by the HDOP are compared with the experimental results acquired by the UWB positioning system. Finally, we investigate a detailed comparison with the least squares (LS), nonlinear regression …
