Abstract
When using information observed by sensor nodes in a sensor network, it is important in many cases to know the positions of the nodes. One of the well-known methods of estimating node positions is APIT (Approximate Point-in-Triangulation Test). To improve APIT, the authors previously proposed a localization algorithm based on the positions and received signal strengths of neighbor nodes. However, this algorithm leaves the positions of many nodes unknown. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new localization algorithm which is based on the availability of direct signals from neighbor anchor nodes. Our simulation experiments have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
