Design of an Adaptive Scheme to Enable Green Localization
Rafel Estelrich Moreno · 2011
[ANGLES] The use of localization attached to any kind of devices is a common feature nowadays. In the case of sensors, the combination of sampling, connectivity and localization bring a world of possibilities. However, those small devices lack of enough energy resources due its size. To resolve the problem, a protocol named High Configurable Protocol was implemented in order to adapt the operation to the user needs, while focusing on energy savings. The problem comes from, once configured, the protocol do not give a system to change the operation of the modes. And networks do not remain stable. The present work will try the enhancement of the device performance trying to adapt the configuration to the continuous state of the network. By means of priority mechanisms, the most critical nodes will be favored to cause them the least errors possible. In the other hand, implementing a decision engine which receives internal and external information, a suitable configuration in every moment can be set, trying to adapt the user needs to the system resources. The implementation, test and result of the mentioned mechanisms are the basis of this final project.
