Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the implementation of a localization algorithm for sensor networks using a discrete event simulation (DES) architecture. In this implementation, DES is used to calculate the distances between the sensors in terms of hop lengths and to implement a mass-spring optimization scheme. This implementation allows us to estimate the number of packets required during the localization process after the deployment of the sensors.
