Abstract

Localization is one of the key technologies in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), since it provides fundamental support for many location-aware protocols and applications. Constraints on cost and power consumption make it infeasible to equip each sensor node in the network with a global position system (GPS) unit, especially for large-scale WSNs. A promising method to localize unknown nodes is to use anchor nodes, which are equipped with GPS units among unknown nodes and broadcast their current locations to help nearby unknown nodes with localization. In this paper we can proposed a novel algorithm of cuboid localization with the help of central point precision method. Simulation shows that the results are far better then existing cuboid methods and gain accuracy of up to 83% with a localization error of 1.6m and standard deviation of 2.7.
