Abstract
Localization positioning is one of the basic problems in wide wireless sensor networks. The main objective of positioning process is to define the location of a sensor (node or device) from the relevant information obtained from reference nodes. These nodes already know their location. In many cases, these reference nodes are called beacons. The paper deals with proximity based location technique and their modifications. It does not belong to the most accurate techniques, but on the other hand it is low cost alternative to more expensive techniques. The objective of the paper is to give a survey of various proximity based location techniques performance. We analyze the influence of various design choices on the accuracy of localization techniques. The results of basic proximity based localization techniques are compared with modified proximity technique, which is proposed in this paper.
