Abstract :
In wireless sensor networks, sensor localization plays a critical role in many applications. Many algorithms, including range-based and range-free approaches, have been proposed to calculate the positions of randomly deployed sensor nodes. In some applications, sensor nodes are constantly moving. The current algorithms do not address such mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN). In this paper we propose a novel localization algorithm for MWSN. The simulation shows that our algorithm can achieve high localization accuracy.
