The platform of the IPS is designed,which consists of the light-emitting diode( LED)based transmitter,the receiver and the positioning server. To reduce the impact caused by measurement errors,both inertial sensing data and the received signal strength( RSS) from the VLC are calibrated. Then,a practical propagation model is established to obtain the distance between the transmitter and the receiver from the RSS measurements. Furthermore,a hybrid positioning algorithm is proposed by using the adaptive Kalman filter( AKF) and the weighted least squares( WLS)trilateration to estimate the positions of the mobile targets.Experimental results show that the developed IPS using the proposed hybrid positioning algorithm can extend the localization area of VLC,mitigate the IMU drifts and improve the positioning accuracy of mobile targets.展开更多

To provide a flexible and high reliable communication service in VANET, vehicles are clustered to construct many small networks （clusters） so that channel interferences and flooding messages can be limited. This research presents a novel Multi-Resolution Relative Speed Detection （MRSD） model to improve the clustering algorithm in VANET without using Global Positioning System （GPS）. MRSD uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence （MACD）, the Momentum of Received Signal Strength （MRSS）, and Artificial Neural Networks （ANNs） to estimate the motion state and the relative speed of a vehicle based purely on Received Signal Strength. The proposed MRSD model is accurate with the assistance of the intelligent classification, and incurs less overhead in the cluster head election than that of other algorithms.展开更多
