Locating Tiny Sensors in Time and Space: A Case Study
— As the cost of embedded sensors and actuators drops, new applications will arise that exploit high density networks of small devices capable of a variety of sensing tasks. Although individual devices may have limited functionality, the true value of the system comes from the emergent behavior that arises when data from many places in the system is combined. This type of data fusion has a number of requirements, but two of the most important are: 1) synchronized time, precise enough to resolve movement in the sensed phenomenon (e.g., sound); and 2) known geographic locations, on a similar scale to the sensors’ size and deployment density. However, the installation cost of a localization system with sufficient granularity is considerable, because of the large amount of effort required to deploy such a system and make all the measurements required to tune it. In this paper, we describe a system based on COTS components that incorporates our novel time synchronization and acoustic r...
