Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Wireless sensor networks localization is one of most vibrant research field since it has more advantageous than a global positioning system (GPS) in aspect of cost and indoor usability.
In wireless sensor networks (WSN), predetermined location of a sensor can sometimes be meaningless because a sensor can be deployed in such an area where is hardly reachable.
Therefore, a sensor must be able to localize itself and provides its location information to other sensor nodes.

Non-cooperative localization, also called traditional localization, like local positioning system (LPS) has been done by communications only between anchor nodes and an agent node.
However, a sensor requires to have a sensor that has unlimited power transmission capability, which seems unrealistic.
Furthermore, accuracy is also limited due to communication only between an anchor node and an agent node.
To deal with these problems, cooperative localization technique has been suggested and studied.
Cooperative localization is the technique including not only measurement between anchor nodes and an agent node but also the measurement between agent nodes for location estimation so as to increase positioning accuracy and robustness.

Among various sensory modalities (acoustic, seismic, infrared and so on) the modality of measurement made in wireless sensor networks throughout this thesis is radio frequency (RF).
Simulation results of both non-cooperative and cooperative localization accuracy will be observed in order to prove that cooperative localization outperforms non-cooperative localization.
In addition, simulated data is compared to data which is actually measured in indoor environment to give the idea how reliable the simulation is in indoor.
