Peer identification in wireless and sensor networks using signal properties

In this paper, we investigate methods to determine a transmitting peer node´s location using signal properties and trusted-peer collaboration. We then consider how this location information can establish peer identity confidence. Specifically, we consider using signal direction, signal strength, and collaboration to establish the transmitter´s location with sufficient precision to enable identification through location. Network density, node characteristics such as size and speed, and communication capabilities are all considered in our analysis
