Improving Localization in Wireless Sensor Network Using Fixed and Mobile Guide Nodes

Abstract EN

Wireless sensor network contains very large number of tiny sensors; some nodes with known position are recognized as guide nodes.

Other nodes with unknown position are localized by guide nodes.

This article uses the combination of fixed and mobile guide nodes in wireless network localization.

So nearly 20% of nodes are fixed guide nodes and three nodes are intended as mobile guide nodes.

To evaluate the proficiency, the proposed algorithm has been successfully studied and verified through simulation.

Low cost, high accuracy, and low power consumption of nodes and complete coverage are the benefits of this approach and long term in localization is the disadvantage of this method.
