Implementation of the CCA-MAP localization algorithm on a wireless sensor network testbed

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually randomly deployed in a region of interest. As a result, algorithms that can compute the location of sensor nodes within a WSN are needed. In recent years, several localization algorithms have been proposed for stationary WSNs. However, most studies only provide simulation results and most algorithms have never been implemented on a real testbed. In this paper, we implement a localization algorithm called CCA-MAP on a real WSN testbed. To the best of our knowledge, the CCA-MAP algorithm is amongst the best performing algorithms proposed for stationary WSNs. The results obtained show that the implementation results are consistent with the simulation results.
