Abstract :
Localization algorithms are required for indoor wireless sensor network (WSN) applications because the identification of real positions can upgrade the importance of sensing information. In this paper, we introduce a efficient algorithm which can improve the accuracy of location identification by employing jumper setting at each sensor. The proposed algorithm perform localization more accurately than trilateration and faster than multidimensional scaling (MDS). The results from a MATLAB simulation show the outperformance of the proposed algorithm.
