Guard Placement For Wireless Localization

Computational Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Motivated by secure wireless networking, we consider the problem of placing fixed localizers that enable mobile communication devices to prove they belong to a secure region that is defined by the interior of a polygon. Each localizer views an infinite wedge of the plane, and a device can prove membership in the secure region if it is inside the wedges for a set of localizers whose common intersection contains no points outside the polygon. This model leads to a broad class of new art gallery type problems, for which we provide upper and lower bounds.
