Localization Schemes For Wireless Sensor Networks

We are living in the world where technology revolutionized the living society in many ways. Today we use varieties of the sensors to monitor the dangerous places where the human accessibility is hazardous. These small inexpensive sensors can work as a single entity with multiple attributes such as communication sensing processing and storing. In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) sensors perform its critical operations of data gathering sensing routing topology control energy saving and covering. These many operations cannot be performed efficiently without the knowledge of the location. Hence localization of the sensor network is essential to give a meaningful sense to a WSNs. In this book we have addressed the various issues and challenges to provide a simple inexpensive and accurate localization schemes. Besides we have discussed various geometric shapes and their properties used for localization of WSNs. The book presents the extensive comparative analysis of geometric schemes using the simulation and experimental validation.
