Abstract
In this paper, a novel range-free localization algorithm for anisotropic networks is proposed. In the proposed method, the characteristics of the given network are considered and each sensor node estimates the relation between the hop counts and the geographical distances. Unlike most of the previous localization algorithms, the proposed method performs well not only in the isotropic network but also in the anisotropic networks. The proposed method is applied to both isotropic and anisotropic network topologies and the simulation results demonstrate that the method exhibits excellent and robust performances.
