Abstract
Sensors positioning with high accuracy is a fundamental stone in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In outdoor environment which is hostile and unreachable, mobile anchors method is considered as an appropriate solution for locating unknown nodes. In this case, the key problems are the trajectory mapping and the needed number of mobile anchors. These mobile anchors should travel along the trajectory in order to determine the positions of unknown nodes with minimum localization error. In this paper, a localization algorithm named Group of Tri-Mobile Anchors (GTMA) is proposed, which is based on a group of tri-mobile anchors with adjustable square trajectory in the deployment area. The position of a target node is calculated by Trilateration. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm GTMA is better than that of other algorithms adopted one mobile anchor, e.g., HILBERT, LMAT and SPIRAL algorithms. This is clearly evident in both the localization accuracy and trajectory planning.
