Hi,
I understand that you want to implement localization in WSNs using both range-based and range-free methods. Please refer to the following as a workaround for the same:
- Define the Environment: Set up a grid or region where nodes are placed. Define the positions of anchor and unknown nodes.
- Simulate Range-based Technique: Implement RSSI or ToA calculations using mathematical models. For example, RSSI can be modeled using, "Pr=Pt−10ηlog10(d)+Xσ" where "Pr" is received power, "Pt" is transmitted power, "η" is path-loss exponent, "d" is distance, and "Xσ" is Gaussian noise.
- Simulate Range-free Technique: Calculate the number of hops from unknown nodes to anchors. Estimate distances using the average hop distance.
- Calculate Metrics and Implement Code: Calculate the localization error for each node and the avergae localization error. Create functions for node placement, distance estimation, position calculation, and metric computation.
Hope this helps!
