Abstract

In wireless ad hoc networks, node's location information is useful for efficient routing and location-aware applications. This paper surveys this active area of research and presents a detailed comparison of most localisation algorithms in literature. Hardware requirements, reliability and accuracy are reviewed. The localisation methods are evaluated and compared under the same network settings.
