Abstract :
In this paper a new localization method based on parametric channel models is presented. In order to reduce localization errors when working with real data, we also propose to calculate the median value of several received signal strength measurements prior to the application of the localization method. The performance of the method is shown through both numerical simulations and some tests with real data from a wireless sensor network.
