I want to use the steerable antenna for WSN localization. My idea is to attached steerable antenna with anchor nodes and deployed on random regions. How can a beam of antenna can helps in calculating node position in either of the way
We gave some arguments on the advantage of steerable antennas in our recent paper "High-Accuracy Localization for Assisted Living: 5G systems will turn multipath channels from foe to friend" which you can find on Research Gate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/285370626_High-Accuracy_Localization_for_Assisted_Living_5G_systems_will_turn_multipath_channels_from_foe_to_friend
This may not be the low-complexity solution you may wish for your WSN. You could also take a look at the work by Gianni Georgetti and co-workerrs, e.g.: "Single-Anchor Indoor Localization Using a Switched-Beam Antenna"
Best, Klaus
