Abstract

Localization in wireless sensor networks is essential to important network functions such as event detection, geographic routing, and information tracking. Localization is to determine the locations of nodes when node connectivities are given. In this paper, centroid approach known as a distributed algorithm is extended to a centralized algorithm. The centralized algorithm has the advantage of simplicity. but does not have the disadvantage that each unknown node should be in transmission ranges of three fixed nodes at least. The algorithm shows that localization can be formulated to a linear system of equations. We mathematically show that the linear system have a unique solution. The unique solution indicates the locations of unknown nodes are capable of being uniquely determined.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드들의 위치를 측정하는 문제는 사건탐지, 라우팅, 정보추적 등의 중요한 네트워크 기능을 수행하기 위해 필수적으로 해결해야 한다. 위치측정 문제는 노드들 간의 연결성이 알려져 있을 때 네트워크의 모든 노드의 위치를 결정하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 분산 알고리즘인 중점기법을 중앙 집중적인 알고리즘으로 확장한다. 확장된 알고리즘은 단순하다는 중점 기법의 장점을 지니면서도 각 미지 노드가 세 개 이상의 고정 노드들의 중첩된 전송 범위에 속해야 한다는 단점을 갖지 않는다. 본 논문의 알고리즘은 위치 측정 문제가 일차원 행렬 방정식으로 정형화 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 일차원 행렬 방정식이 유일한 해를 가짐을 수학적으로 증명함으로써 모든 미지 노드들의 위치를 유일하게 결정할 수 있음을 보인다.
