Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks in Beacon Drifting Scenarios

Article Preview

Abstract:

The beacon drifting problem occurs when the beacon nodes move accidentally after deployment. In this occasion, the localization results of sensor nodes in the network will be greatly affected and become inaccurate. In this paper, we present a localization algorithm in wireless sensor networks in beacon drifting scenarios. The algorithm first uses a probability density model to calculate the location reliability of each node, and in localization it will dynamically choose nodes with highest location reliabilities as beacon nodes to improve localization accuracy in beacon drifting scenarios. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves its design goals.
