Abstract

In wireless sensor networks based on nanoLOCTM standard and using server-centric control, the overall performance of radio segment and location accuracy depends amongst other on the efficiency of the location engine. The efficiency may be increased by selecting an appropriate subset of base stations for ranging. This paper describes the experiments dealing with this problem, and discusses the ways of saving radio bandwidth.
