Location Discovery in SpeckNets Using Relative Direction Information
A   speck   is   intended   to   be   a   miniature   (5X5X5mm)   semiconductor   device   that  combines sensing, processing, wireless communication and energy storage capabilities. A  specknet is an ad­hoc wireless network of specks. The location of specks in the network is  useful in processing information, for reasons ranging from routing data to giving the data  sensed a spatial context. This paper presents an algorithm for discovering the location of  specks and updating that information in the face of movement. The proposed algorithm  exploits the location constraints implied by the sensed directions to a speck’s one­hop  neighbours in order to compute a likely location. Direction information may be gleaned in  a robust manner through the use of free­space optical communications systems. The  algorithm is fully distributed, requires no special infras...
