Abstract

We present two distributed algorithms for localizing sensor nodes of a wireless sensor network. Our algorithms determine locations of nodes based on the connectivity between nodes. The basic idea behind our algorithms is to estimate distances between nearby nodes by counting their common neighbors. We analyze the performance of our algorithms experimentally. The results of experiments show that our algorithms achieve performance improvements upon the existing algorithms.
