Abstract
The Study of environment monitoring through huge network of wireless sensor node is worked with activity. The sensor nodes must be very small, light and low cost. The localization which may determine where a given node is physically located in a network is one of the quite important problems for wireless sensor network. But simple localization method is required as excluding the usage of GPS(Global Positioning System) by the limit condition such as the node size, costs, and so on. In this paper, very simple method using connectivity for the outdoor RF communication environment is proposed. The proposed method is demonstrated through simulation.
