Abstract EN
As many Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications require sensor position information, localization has been an important problem in WSNs.
To reduce the number of seeds, a number of mobile-assisted approaches have been proposed.
Current proposed mobile-assisted approaches for localization require special hardware or face route selection problem, however.
In this paper, we propose a Mobile-Assisted Monte Carlo Localization (MA-MCL) for WSNs.
Our approach relies on direct arriver and leaver information from a single mobile-assisted seed.
It does not require any specially designed hardware due to the range-free technique, and the single mobile-assisted seed in our approach can move uncontrollably to avoid route selection problem based on Monte Carlo method.
Evaluation results show that the accuracy of MA-MCL outperforms MSL*, MSL, and ADO when all of them use only a mobile seed for localization in the static sensor networks.
