Title
Range-Free Localization For Air-Dropped Wsns By Filtering Node Estimation Improvements
Abstract
Some sensor network applications involve an aerial deployment of many sensor nodes over a particular area of interest. In this context, current range-free localization proposals, based on an iterative refinement and exchange of node estimations, are not directly applicable, because they introduce a high traffic overhead. In this paper, we propose to control this overhead by means of avoiding the transmission of certain localization packets. The criterion applied by this new localization technique to filter packets is based on the amount of improvement shown after updating an estimation and the time from the last transmission. We also tune this filter in order to find an optimal trade-off between the benefit in traffic and the penalty in time.
