Abstract :
In this paper, recent localization algorithms are analyzed under a common one hop network scenario. The performance of localization is affected by physical parameters in a real wireless environment such as anchor node location and quantity, and error in the measured distance. The numerical analysis presented in this paper can be used to choose among localization algorithms to satisfy practical constraints such as number of anchors, nodes, geometry of anchors and computational efficiency.
