Localization of Sensor Nodes using Flooding in Wireless Sensor Networks

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 3

Abstract

The accuracy of localization is a significant criterion to evaluate the practical utility of localization algorithm in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In mostly localization algorithms, one of the main methods to improve localization accuracy is to increase the number of anchor nodes. But the number of anchor nodes is always limited because of the hardware restrict, such as cost, energy consumption and so on. In this paper, we propose a novel which uses forwarding a query message in flooding technique for localization using anchor nodes and once a node localized it acts as virtual anchor node and it helps to localize remaining sensor nodes. It is scheme to increase and upgrade the virtual anchor nodes, while the real number of physical anchors is the same as before.
