Abstract

Wireless sensor networks attracting a great deal of research interest. Accurate localization of sensor nodes is a strong requirement in a wide area of applications. In recent years, several techniques have been proposed for localization in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we present a localization scheme with using only one mobile anchor station and received signal strength indicator technique, which reduces average localization errors and execution time. Satisfactory simulation results and also comparison of localization errors and execution time between our scheme and similar previous schemes depicts the efficiency of proposed method against previous schemes.
