Abstract:
Due to their wide applications, wireless sensor networks have attracted global research in medical care, smart homes, and environmental monitoring. These applications often expect knowledge of the exact location of nodes. Localization in sensor networks hence became an important problem. We have studied various methods in order to judiciously design a specific location solution. Given the specific characteristics of sensor networks, this solution should not be oversized; otherwise it increases the cost in terms of energy and computation which would make it impracticable. In this paper, the closest methods to our problem are studied and compared.
