Location Characterization in Noisy Range Network Localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network localization is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks, mainly in location dependent applications. A common family of solutions to this problem is the range-based network localization. The resulting localization algorithms are noise sensitive and thus lacking in terms of robustness. Our contribution provides an algorithm which is robust to measurement errors. We propose an analytical tool to analyze the effect of range errors in the final location and use a distributed method to solve the noisy range localization problem.

متن کاملOn improving APIT algorithm for better localization in WSN
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), localization algorithms could be range-based or range-free. The Approximate Point in Triangle (APIT) is a range-free approach. We propose modification of the APIT algorithm and refer as modified-APIT. We select suitable triangles with appropriate distance between anchors to reduce PIT test errors (edge effect and non-uniform placement of neighbours) in APIT a...
