Abstract

In the last years, a remarkable research effort has been made in the area of wireless sensor networks. One of the main advantages of this kind of distributed system is the ability to determine the position of its nodes and the events sensed. Therefore, a simulation framework is required to compare the different location algorithms that could be used in a certain environment, in order to decide which one is the most suitable method for determining the position of a node or target, as well as to identify the weaknesses and strengths of every algorithm. In this paper, we describe a simulation environment, for distance based location algorithms to be used in wireless sensor networks.
