Abstract

An algorithm suitable to estimate the source node location in a large-scale wireless sensor network without relying on a particular network infrastructure is developed based on a discrete percolation approach. The algorithm´s applicability is evaluated in terms of confidence intervals for the Gaussian distribution of hop count in a peripheral channel and cooperative routing effect is exploited to improve the localization approach.
