Embodiment
The present invention is at first according to different wireless network scenario models, obtain signal strength signal intensity and nodal distance between the node of corresponding based on wireless mesh network, signal strength signal intensity and nodal distance are divided between several region the corresponding relation between determining in each model of place between signal strength signal intensity interval and distance regions.
The wireless network scenario model of corresponding relation between between signal strength signal intensity of the present invention interval and distance regions and employing has direct relation, before dividing at first according to wireless network scenario, the signal strength signal intensity of calculating different distance in communication range is chosen the calculated distance value according to the certainty of measurement that hope reaches.Ordinary circumstance is chosen the distance of integer rice.In the practical application,, take data by experiment, in the position measurement received signal intensity of distance sending node different distance according to the wireless network scenario of specific environment.The signal strength signal intensity of experiment measuring is a unit with dBW or dBm normally, and the signal strength signal intensity of calculating by model theory is unit usually with W.In order to handle conveniently, need be scaled the signal strength signal intensity that with W is unit with dBW or dBm be the signal strength signal intensity of unit, and concrete reduction formula is as follows:
P ( dBW ) = 10 log ( P ( W ) 1 W )
P ( dBm ) = 10 log ( P ( W ) 0.001 W )
With dBW or dBm is between the signal strength signal intensity of unit and the distance variation relation of approximately linear to be arranged, and makes things convenient for interval division to handle.
The present invention corresponds on the distance value according to each signal strength signal intensity, can make the bars intensity curve corresponding with distance, as shown in Figure 3.In different scenes, signal strength signal intensity is different with the mapping curve of distance.This main root in different scenes, the attenuation law difference of signal transmission.Generally speaking, the wireless transmission model of place that generally adopts has four kinds: FreeSpace, TwoRayGround, Outdoor-Shadowing and Indoor-Shadowing.The present invention can adapt to the difference of practical application scene, along with the variation of transmission range and the difference of signal attenuation rule.Generally speaking,, be necessary to determine the model that this scene is affiliated in advance, position operation again, just can make positioning result approach actual situation at different application scenarioss.
According to the wireless network scenario model, set up the corresponding relation between signal strength signal intensity interval and distance regions, as shown in Figure 4.By signal strength signal intensity is converted to interval mapping to the interval to the injection corresponding relation of distance, more meet the relation that the signal transmission is described, in the time of can also avoiding the monodrome mapping because the low error of bringing of signal strength measurement precision; Owing to signal strength signal intensity in the mapping relations also is an interval, also can reduce to a certain extent simultaneously because the influence that the measure error of signal strength signal intensity is adjusted the distance and measured.
The present invention should investigate the situation for the treatment of deployment region on the spot when on-premise network, the distance and signal strength signal intensity respective value of test this area are drawn out the comparison operators actual corresponding curve in ground that is fated, and divide between map section again.About determining of interval, can follow such principle: little one section of slope variation is as an interval.In an interval, the variation of corresponding relation should be in one than stable status (slope variation is little) between signal strength signal intensity and the distance.Should be noted that simultaneously an interval is unsuitable excessive or too small, excessively then can influence locating accuracy, too small just might be because do not have common factor between the annulus and not can not get positioning result.
The interval is determined to finish the also division that can choose manual by machine automatically by the principle of top.After the interval division, obtain the table of comparisons (being divided into different scenes) between a signal strength signal intensity interval and distance regions.So far, the work of zone distance mapping is finished.
With reference to figure 1, four nodes are arranged in the based on wireless mesh network, wherein, A, B, C are the WMN network backbone node.These backbone nodes had carried out the location, and being integrated into one is the network global coordinate system of Centroid with B.D is a client node, and it communicates on network by certain backbone node, and at a certain period t, D can receive the packet that A, B, C send just simultaneously, the present invention exactly by this constantly detected data position.

Two, start watcher thread, collect desired data
After initialization was finished, node D started a thread and monitors the packet that other nodes send over, and receives only the packet that all backbone nodes are sent.In this example, if also have a client node E, the information that it has sent about own position is received by D just, and D abandons this packet, does not adopt data wherein.
Three, scanning channel is operated data.
Scan each channel, read the ID and the signal strength signal intensity of the every other node (comprising backbone node and client node here) that can listen to because this fashion can't be distinguished.In this example, D perceives vicinity by monitor channel A, B and three nodes of C, obtains its signal strength signal intensity and is respectively PA, PB, PC.
Four, according to the signal strength signal intensity of the backbone node correspondence that records, find out between distance regions.
When receiving signal, to judge at first which interval is signal strength signal intensity belong to.For example the signal strength signal intensity of PA is-50, and it belongs to-this interval of 56--48, and corresponding distance should be between this distance regions of 4.0-9.0, just represents that also distance between the DA is between 4.0 to 9.0m.In like manner, can obtain between the distance regions between DB, the DC, so far obtain all required range informations.
Five, calculate the client node coordinate of based on wireless mesh network.
By between the distance regions between known backbone node position and the current corresponding backbone node of client computer, the present invention is by method a plurality of annulus that draw of mapping, as shown in Figure 5.
Among Fig. 5, each annulus is respectively that the coordinate with corresponding backbone node is the center of circle, is that radius is drawn with the upper lower limit value between distance regions between client node and corresponding backbone node.After obtaining above-mentioned 3 annulus, determine the overlay region of annulus overlay area, calculate the barycenter of above-mentioned overlay region, obtain the coordinate of client node.
So far, on client computer D, tried to achieve the position coordinates of self.
Six, the coordinate result of broadcast client node
Client node has been known after self coordinate, need be published to this result on the network to make things convenient for the needs of upper strata webmaster or global application.
Because changing may appear in the mobility of client node, its coordinate position at any time, therefore above step is to be in one all the time constantly among the circulation, so just can realize the coordinate of client node is dynamically updated, to adapt to the demand of tension management.
