Localization Technique Model of Ships Ad Hoc Network (SANET) Using Geographic's Database and Clustering Analysis

Abstract

The localization problem in ad hoc networks has drawn wide attention in recent years due to the rapid advances in mobile computing and improvements of wireless communication technologies. In this paper, we design the localization model for Ships Ad Hoc network (SANET) involves three stages (Data collection, Data clustering, and Localization model). Our proposal can estimate its own position by using the travelling distance and the previous position which is estimated after the achievement of the stability of the ships. Our experimental results will show the effectiveness of the proposal.
