Robust Node Localization for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview The node localization problem in Wireless Sensor Networks has received considerable attention, driven by the need to obtain a higher location accuracy without incurring a large, per node, cost (dollar cost, power consumption and form factor). Despite the efforts made, no system has emerged as a robust, practical, solution for the node localization problem in realistic, complex, outdoor environments. This paper argues that the existing localization algorithms, individually, work well for single sets of assumptions. These assumptions do not always hold, as in the case of outdoor, complex environments. To solve this problem, the paper proposes a framework that allows the execution of multiple localization schemes.
