Localization Algorithm Using Varying Speed Mobile Sink for Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Localization of sensor nodes is important in many aspects in wireless sensor networks. The known location of sensor node helps in determining the event of interest. A mobile sink is introduced to track the event driven sensor nodes in the path of the event, thus conserving energy and time. We present a novel range based localization algorithm which helps the mobile sink to compute the location of the sensor nodes efficiently. The data transfer from the mobile sink and the sensor nodes is used to estimate the sensor location. The sensor nodes do not need to spend energy on neighbouring interaction for localization. The localization mechanism has been implemented in TOSSIM. The simulation results show that our scheme performed better than other range-based schemes.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes with limited energy. Energy efficiency is an important issue in WSNs as the sensor nodes are deployed in rugged and non-care areas and consume a lot of energy to send data to the central station or sink if they want to communicate directly with the sink. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is employed as a low-power, low-cost, and low rat...
