Determine the location of nodes in wireless sensor network by using GA

Abstract EN

In several cases, it is important, or even necessary, for a device in the wireless sensor network to be aware of its location in the network.

For example, the event detection process loses its importance if the wireless sensor network cannot provide any information about where the event occurred.

However, site information cannot be manually configured on each device during deployment.

It is also futile to place the future of the Global Positioning System (GPS) at each node, due to physical and publishing limitations (e.g.

GPS does not work within the structure) and other limitations related to the power of the device.

In this paper we proposed new methodologytodetermine the location of nodes by using Genetic Algorithms(GA).GA consider an important technique in the search for the best choice of a set of solutions available for a particular design.

Through the results obtained using the proposed algorithm, this method can be considered more reliable and cost effective than traditional methods
