    • Taxonomy: Reference based, One-hop, mobile sensing system, opportunistic interaction, signal level
    • Assumptions: (1) Sensor can communication with each other; (2) Drifts are independent and grows with time; (3) Known reference sensor in the system;
    • The main idea is that interactions among sensors can be used to adjust their calibration functions and error estimates.
  • Multi-Hop, IPSN2015
    • Taxonomy: Reference based, Multi-hop, signal level
    • Assumption: (1) Known reference sensor in the system;
    • Based on the fact that temporally and spatially close measurements of different sensors measuring the same phenomenon are similar. A rendezvous connection graph is built.

    • Only consider accelerometer and gyroscope, because the opportunity comes from the fact that no extra force when in stationary state, hence only motion related sensor can be calibrated in this way.

Appendix: Not Mobile Sensing Calibration

The key difference between mobile sensing calibration and static sensing calibration is that in mobile sensing, sensors move around hence …
