Abstract:
In Wireless Sensor Networks, several protocols and algorithms seek to prolong the network lifetime; among them, the localization algorithms are used as an accessory to provide the smallest distances for sending messages. This paper compares the Lateration, KNN and ANN as localization techniques to estimate planar coordinates using the RSSI in an indoor environment using a real WSN based on IRIS motes. The results show that a well worked out ANN is superior to Lateration and KNN.
