“…Signature-based techniques [32] assume non-uniform distribution of the nodes to be used as a signature for estimating location by noticing node neighborhoods. In Beacon-based techniques [33], Beacon nodes should identify their absolute positions using GPS or manual configuration. The location of the remaining nodes is estimated using distance/angle measurements to beacon nodes followed by multilateration or triangulation.…”

Abstract-The availability of location information has become a key factor in today's communications systems allowing location based services. In outdoor scenarios, the mobile terminal position is obtained with high accuracy thanks to the Global Positioning System (GPS) or to the standalone cellular systems. However, the main problem of GPS and cellular systems resides in the indoor environment and in scenarios with deep shadowing effects where the satellite or cellular signals are broken. In this paper, we survey different technologies and methodologies for indoor and outdoor localization with an emphasis on indoor methodologies and concepts. Additionally, we discuss in this review different localization-based applications, where the location information is critical to estimate. Finally, a comprehensive discussion of the challenges in terms of accuracy, cost, complexity, security, scalability, etc. is given. The aim of this survey is to provide a comprehensive overview of existing efforts as well as auspicious and anticipated dimensions for future work in indoor localization techniques and applications.

“…Localization can be done in two ways: Centralized and Distributed [2]. Centralized localization techniques estimates the location of each sensor node on a network from a central Base Station (BS) or Server, while in the distributed localization techniques each sensor node is equipped with capabilities to estimate its own location on the network.…”

“…Centralized localization techniques estimates the location of each sensor node on a network from a central Base Station (BS) or Server, while in the distributed localization techniques each sensor node is equipped with capabilities to estimate its own location on the network. Localization may involves determining the distance (ranging) between nodes and/or finding absolute or relative coordinates (positioning) with or without a reference node usually called the anchor (beacon) node [2].…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) localization is an important and fundamental problem that has received a lot of attention from the WSN research community. Determining the absolute and relative coordinate of sensor nodes in the network adds much more meaning to sense data. The research community is very rich in proposals to address this challenge in WSN. This paper, explores the various techniques proposed to address the acquisition of location information in WSN. The paper also evaluate the performance of these techniques based on the energy consumption, the skill and man hours needed to implement the technique and localization accuracy (error rate) and discuss some open issues for future research. KeywordsWireless sensor network, sensor nodes, localization centralized and distributed algorithm, range-based and rangefree algorithm.
