“…As this is the first approach to such problem, we focus on networks in which the distances among nodes are known [4]. This integration is able to solve three different problems using the same framework: (1) relative positioning of the nodes in the network: for the case of WSN, this is a very active research field during the last years [5,6]; (2) global positioning of the nodes in the earth: in the literature this is done by GPS-based systems, where at least one of the nodes of the network has an integrated GPS or cellular-based localization system [7]; (3) improvement of the positioning accuracy of the SGPS as a standalone system: the sensor network is built exclusively to improve the SGPS accuracy.…”

The sunlight intensity-based global positioning system (SGPS) is able to geolocate outdoor objects by means of the sunlight intensity detection. This paper presents the integration of SGPS into a sensor network in order to improve the overall accuracy using evolutionary algorithms. Another contribution of the paper is to theoretically solve both global and relative positioning of the sensors composing the network within the same framework without satellite-based GPS technology. Results show that this approach is promising and has potential to be improved further.
