Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) When disaster happens in houses and buildings, indoor localization for survivors and rescuers is the most essential, but conventional localization methods such as using GPS (Global Positioning System) and anchor nodes with known locations are often unavailable. This paper proposes a localization method where conventional localization methods are unavailable, which uses UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) as reference nodes and RSS (Received Signal Strength) as a ranging tool.
Generally, a building or house is composed of not a single empty part but several sub-parts partitioned by walls and doors giving large attenuations to the wireless signal for ranging, and furthermore, there are several obstacles also giving large attenuations there. Consequently, an RSS localization using UAVs for a target located indoors is very difficult, because UAVs located at different positions receive the wireless signals subject to unknown different attenuations in addition to near/far effect and fading. First of all, using the RSS values measured among UAVs located at the outside of a building of interest, to identify the attenuation structure for the building, the proposed method constructs “an attenuation map” by means of wireless tomography. Here, using the sparse nature of attenuation obstacles, to reduce the computation complexity, compressed sensing is applied. Then, the proposed method localizes a target by means of RSSI with help of the constructed attenuation map. This paper shows the concept of the proposed RSS-based localization in detail.
