In this paper, a novel RSSI-based position algorithm is proposed for Mobile ad hoc network. The proposed range-based position scheme is implemented by a blind node and several beacons. We show how to use parameters-tuning model and position-correction model to effectively compute a good estimation of the position of blind node. The results of our method in CC2431 indicate that the calculated distance is closer to the actual values and the position of the blind node can be computed in a small amount of time and that the quality of the solution is competitive with previous approaches.
