In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), nodes are deployed in sensor fields for monitoring and controlling the physical environments. Node localization is fundamental challenge in wireless sensor networks as without knowing the location of nodes sensed information will have no value. Therefore, it is vital that nodes must know their location. This paper provides a review of basic techniques for localization. The localization algorithms are classified into GPS based or GPS free, Anchor based or Anchor free, Centralized or Distributed and Range based or range free. Paper further discusses limitations of each of the algorithms.

Localization Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Review
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently emerges as promising technology in wireless communication field and gained special attention by research groups. It uses small and cheap gadgets with low energy requirements and limited on board computing resourceswhich communicates with each other's or base stations without any pre-defined infrastructure. The property of being infrastructure less makes it suitable in distinctive application situations including remotemonitoring, disaster management, military applications and biomedical health observing devices. In many of these applications, node localization is unavoidably one of the important system parameters for example in target tracking if the nodes are not able to obtain the accurate location information, the related task cannot be performed.It is also helpful in routing, network coverage and quarry management of sensors. In general the localization techniques are ordered into two general classifications: range based and range free. In this paper, we discussed the various localization algorithms with their applicable areas, requirements and limitations. Moreover, on conclusion we compare these localization algorithms and analyze the future research directions for the localization algorithms in WSNs.

Anchor-free localisation algorithm and performance analysis in wireless sensor networks
IET Communications, 2009
A hybrid anchor-free localisation scheme for multihop wireless sensor networks is presented. First, a relatively dense group of nodes is selected as a base, which are localised by using the multidimensional scaling method. Secondly, the robust quads (RQ) method is employed to localise other nodes, following which the robust triangle and radio range (RTRR) approach is used to perform the localisation task. The RQ and the RTRR methods are used alternately until no more nodes can be localised by the two approaches. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid localisation algorithm performs well in terms of both accuracy and the success rate of localisation. To evaluate the accuracy of anchor-free localisation algorithms, the authors derive two different accuracy measures: the Cramer -Rao lower bound (CRLB) to benchmark the coordinate estimation errors and the approximate lower bound to benchmark the distance errors. Simulation results demonstrate that both the CRLB and the distance error lower bound provide references for the accuracy of the location algorithms.
Review on Localization Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2015
The wireless sensor networks are prone to various connectivity, coverage and localization issues. All of these three terms are related to the neighbor formation, connectivity and convergence of the sensor networks. There are several existing solutions available against these problems. This paper proposes a survey on the techniques to overcome the issues of coverage, convergence and neighbor formation. The techniques surveyed under this survey are novel threedimensional localization DV-Hop algorithm (NTLDV-HOP), distance vector hop (DV-HOP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and the correction value based DV-HOP (RCDV) and correction value based DV-HOP (CDV). Under this survey, we have evaluated all of these techniques for their effectiveness in various situations on the basis of theoretical analysis. This theoretical analysis is based upon the critical evaluation of the existing WSN localization techniques mentioned above. These are termed as the best available techniques for the WSN localization, but having different natures and adaptable and effective in scenarios of their adaptation environment.

Overview of Localization Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks
Design Engineering (Toronto), 2021
A sensor network's primary role is to collect and forward data to its intended endpoint. It's important to understand where the data we've gathered is held. In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), localization is widely used to determine the position of sensor nodes. In a WSN with thousands of nodes, installing GPS on each sensor node is costly, and GPS cannot provide precise position results in an in-building WSN. It's also impossible to manually configure location relation on each sensor node in a dense network. This is problematic since the sensor nodes must decide their current location without the use of special hardware such as GPS or manual setup. Because of localization methods, WSN implementation is cost-effective. The majority of localization methods rely on an anchor node or beacon node that knows where it is. Other nodes in the network use the anchor node's or beacon node's positioning information to find themselves. In this paper, we give a quick overview of the different types of localization strategies used in wireless sensor networks, as well as the issues and research gaps that still exist.
Survey: Deployment and Localization Techniques of Wireless Sensor Network
A sensor network is a large ad hoc network of densely distributed sensors that are equipped with low power wireless transceivers. Such networks can be applied for cooperative signal detection, monitoring, and tracking, and are especially useful for applications in remote or hazardous locations. This paper addresses the problem of location discovery at the sensor nodes, which is one of the central design challenges in sensor networks. Many existing systems and protocols attempt to solve the problem of determining a node's location within its environment. Others attempt to solve the problem of detection and tracking moving targets. The approaches taken to solve both localization problems differ in the assumptions that they make about their respective network (the way of deployment, network topology) and device capabilities. These include assumptions about device hardware, signal propagation models, timing and energy requirements, network makeup (homogeneous vs. heterogeneous), the nature of the environment (indoor vs. outdoor), node or beacon density, time synchronization of devices, communication costs, error requirements, and device mobility. Different localization algorithms are represented with their environment assumption (for both indoor and outdoor). Future research directions and challenges for improving node localization in wireless sensor networks are also discussed.
