Abstract


Wireless Sensor Network based location tracking is lways a concerned area in shipping industry, construction and material location in stacks. The WSN based 3D location tracking algorithm can be used to track and analyze the possible location and it can identify the target object both in indoor and outdoor environmental area. The Received Signal Strength indication (RSSI) is useful for calculating the distance between transmitter and receiver. The location of the Transmitter is calculated with help of gradient descent method. This paper propose a WSN based 3D location tracking algorithm that can be used to gradually locate  towards the exact location of the target object and enhancing management, safety for the shipping industries.

Keywords


Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), RSSI, Three-Dimensional Location Tracking.
