            Abstract : 
Sensor node localization is a basic and key problem in sensor network work and management, and the self-localization of the sensor node is the basis for sensor network applications. This paper classifies and compares with several localization algorithms currently used, presents a node localization algorithm based on mobile anchor node, to reduce the communications and computing cost of the wireless sensor network self-localization.
