I am working on VANET. I need to know how we can calculate the estimated position of a node. I am using 802.11p MAC in NS-2. I have generated mobility using SUMO.
Use signal detection and estimation theory. Received signal strength has relation to signal transmission distance, distance has relation to location coordinates.
If we have the fixed wireless technology like bluetooth and high speed interface so we can apply the rule of signal strength and calculate the distance according to them.
