Abstract
This paper presents a resilient localization scheme for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It suits well in estimation of node position under a corrupted radio environment. Position computation is based on information of angle-of-arrivals (AoA) and references obtained from a few mobile anchors. In the network, anchors are equipped with smart antennas and global positioning system receivers. They broadcast signals in a synchronous and periodic fashion. The neighboring nodes having the signals with received signal strength values above a prescribed threshold level, respond with their respective IDs. Anchors evaluate AoA information from these signals using estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) algorithm. Next, they forward beacon messages, containing their references and estimated angles, to the corresponding nodes and move along random trajectories. After receiving three sets of such data, at least, nodes can initiate selective segregation of the inconsistent position estimations. Simulation results attaining higher degree of localization accuracy validate its competency over the existing schemes.
