Accuracy and stability analysis of path loss exponent measurement for localization in wireless sensor network

In wireless sensor network localization, path loss model is often used to provide a conversion between distance and received signal strength (RSS). Path loss exponent is one of the main environmental parameters for path loss model to characterize the rate of conversion. Therefore, the accuracy of pa...

Electronics Nuclear engineering In wireless sensor network localization, path loss model is often used to provide a conversion between distance and received signal strength (RSS). Path loss exponent is one of the main environmental parameters for path loss model to characterize the rate of conversion.
