Localization based radio model calibration for fault-tolerant wireless mesh networks

This paper proposes a localization-based method to calibrate radio propagation models by finding mobile station locations via localization and using radio signal strength measurements to adjust model parameters to better fit the real environment. This calibration method is integrated into a fault-tolerance framework to automatically detect environmental changes and propose network reconfigurations before service failures occur. An evaluation in a real industrial scenario demonstrated the practicality of the approach.
