Abstract :
This paper presents a brief review of the most important methods for node localization in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Among them are: Ad hoc Positioning System (APS), Anchor-Free Localization (AFL) and MoteTrack. Such methods may achieve good accuracy at the cost of extra hardware which needs to be present at each network node.
