Abstract:

With recent development in Wireless Sensor Networks ignited an important aspect in the location of the sensor. The location of the sensor inherently provides an accurate view of the sensor field. The tracking of certain objects in the monitoring and surveillance applications requires the location of an object to be incorporated with the tracking algorithms. To find out the position of a node, various localization algorithms are used. This requirement motivates the development of an efficient and effective Localization protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. The paper presents an overview of various localization techniques used in Wireless Sensor Networks and presents a detailed comparison of various Range Based Localization methods, which will help in understanding and selecting the best range-based algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network Applications.
