Abstract

Wireless sensor network localization is an important area that attracted significant research interest. Hence, localization schemes for wireless sensor Although mobility would appear to make localization more difficult, in this paper We present a new method by which a sensor node can determine its location by listening to wireless transmissions from three or more fixed beacon nodes and argue that it can exploit mobility to improve the accuracy and precision of localization. Our approach does not require additional hardware on the nodes and works even when the movement of seeds and nodes is uncontrollable. The proposed method is based on a Distance/ Angle- Estimation technique that does not increase the complexity or cost of construction of the localization sensor nodes. It determines how the available information will be manipulated to enable all of the nodes of the WSN to estimate their positions. It is a distributed and usually multi-hop algorithm.
