Abstract

In this article we survey the latest progress on sensor localization, focusing on distance measurement techniques and localization algorithms for a sensor to determine its own location. We illustrate why inaccurate distance measurements, arising from tight hardware design constraints, raise challenges in sensor localization and how proposed approaches strive to overcome these challenges. We conclude that sensor localization algorithms must be designed to accommodate different application requirements in terms of costs, energy consumption, and localization accuracy

Error analysis of quantised RSSI based sensor network localisation

Localising sensor nodes is an essential process for self-organising Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). A few recently-proposed localisation algorithms use Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) readings usually available in WSNs for node localisation. ...
A Polygonal Method for Ranging-Based Localization in an Indoor Wireless Sensor Network

In this paper, we propose an indoor localization method in a wireless sensor network based on IEEE 802.15.4 specification. The proposed method follows a ranging-based approach using not only the measurements of received signal strength (RSS) but also ...
Fine-grained in-door localisation with wireless sensor networks
MobiWac '12: Proceedings of the 10th ACM international symposium on Mobility management and wireless access

Many WSN algorithms and applications are based on knowledge regarding the position of nodes inside the network area. However, the solution of using GPS based modules in order to perform localization in WSNs is a rather expensive solution and in the case ...
