Wireless location tracking position sensors in the aviation industry 1
Executive Summary
The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review on wireless location tracking
position sensors in the aviation industry. The wireless sensor networks comprise of some
small sensor nodes and each of them consist of a small amount of memory, a processing
device, radio and battery transceiver for the communication. The nodes of the sensor are
spatially distributed and autonomous in the investigation area in the aircraft industry. Several
protocols and certain applications of the wireless sensor networks require that the nodes of
the sensors should be aware of the position of them that are related to the sensor network. For
that to be important as well as to be data and value such as humidity, pressure and
temperature that are gathered by the nodes of the sensors have to be aware of the relative
positions of them.

Wireless location tracking position sensors in the aviation industry 3
Introduction:
A wireless network is basically a network of the nodes of the tiny sensors that can
communicate with one another by a link of wireless communication. Each of nodes of the
sensors typically consists a small amount of memory, a processing device, radio and battery
transceiver for the communication. According to Georgeson et al., 2016, These nodes of the
sensors obtain data such as temperature, humidity and pressure, transmit the data to a beacon
node and or a neighbour node, do some local processing. The aim of this paper is to provide a
literature review on wireless location tracking position sensors in the aviation industry.
Tracking of target: the problem:
As said by Strohmeier, Lenders and Martinovic, 2015, With having huge number of
staffs and assets that spread throughout an area of square miles, the airports are having so
much complex environments for keep running. The real time location system can streamline
the location tracking of staff and asset that can deliver important benefits to the maintenance
and operations staff through allowing them to locate the assets for doing their jobs much
efficiently. Since the Sensor based networks are used typically for monitoring the
environment, one of the most fundamental issues is the problem of location tracking, whose
goal to track the paths of roaming of the moving objects or the people in the airport ground in
the area in that the sensors can be deployed (Gerringer, Lima and DeVault, 2016). The
tracking of the assets such as the baggage of the passengers and staff location has many
benefits to the operations and the maintenance by aiding them in locating these and
increasing the efficiency of their jobs. The major issue is challenging in two senses one is the
wireless communication is so much limited and the another one is there are no backbone
network or no central control mechanism (Yahav et al., 2014). Currently, the tracking of
