Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require location information of the randomly deployed nodes. A common solution to the localization problem is to deploy a few special beacon nodes having location awareness, which help the ordinary nodes to localize. In this approach, non-beacon nodes estimate their locations using noisy distance measurements from three or more non-collinear beacons...
In this paper, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based multilateration algorithm is presented for a UWB communications based sensor network. The particle swarm uses simple operators and is a bottom-up approach for identifying the location in a 2D space. Hence the PSO uses less energy. For comparison we present two alternative approaches traditionally used for this problem. The first one is (a) traditional...
