Abstract

Localization is an important issue for Wireless Sensor Networks in a wireless sensor network. A mobile sensor may change its position rapidly and thus require localization calls frequently. It is important to control the number of localization calls, as it is rather expensive. The existing schemes for reducing the frequency of localization calls for mobile sensors uses the technique of extrapolation which involves simple arithmetic calculations. We propose a technique to control the localization that gives much better result. The proposed method involves very low arithmetic computation overheads. We find analytical expressions for the estimated error if the rate of localizations is specified. Simulation studies are carried out to compare the performances of the proposed method with the methods proposed by Tilak et al.
