Abstract

An adaptive rule-based algorithm, SpaseLoc, is described to solve localization problems for ad hoc wireless sensor networks. A large problem is solved as a sequence of very small subproblems, each of which is solved by semidefinite programming relaxation of a geometric optimization model. The subproblems are generated according to a set of sensor/anchor selection rules. Computational results compared with existing approaches show that the SpaseLoc algorithm scales well and provides excellent localization accuracy.
