Outdoor Transmitter Localization using Multiscale Algorithm.

Current demand for wireless communications is increasing continuously, especially on localization services in determining optimal transmitter location through intelligent wireless communications. Using Received Signal Strength (RSS), the determination of the optimal transmitter location is realized. In this paper, we simulate a model for a case study, where the Wireless InSite program has been used to investigate the wave propagation with the reasonable RSS. Different locations of directional antenna transmitters have been selected to get a better coverage area in the selected case study using multiomnidirectional antenna receivers. An algorithm was formulated using the MATLAB program to determine Average Signal Quality (ASQ), Average Received Power (ARP) and the probability of the best receiver points. We find significant effects of the changing of the location of the transmitter which affected by environment including the presence of barriers and its related material properties.
