Abstract

The existing mobile beacon based range free localization method has two basic problems: (1) the accuracy of position estimation depends on closer beacon broadcasting intervals and (2) varying radio propagation irregularity has a major impact on the localization accuracy. In this paper, we overcome these two problems by proposing a mobile beacon (MOB) based range free localization method for wireless sensor networks, which is based on analytical geometry of an arc. In this scheme, Cramers rule is used, where the intersection point of two perpendicular bisectors of the chords is taken as the estimated position of the sensor node. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme performs better than the existing range free localization algorithms.
