This document discusses localization techniques in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It begins with an introduction to WSNs and their applications that require location information. While GPS could provide location data, it is not practical for WSNs due to cost and physical constraints. The document then categorizes localization methods as range-based, which use distance or angle measurements, and range-free, which do not directly measure distance. Specific techniques like time of arrival, received signal strength, and DV-Hop localization are described. The document concludes with classifications of localization methods and topics for future work.

- 12. GPS .. Why not ? We need to determine the physical coordinates of a group of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) Due to application context and massive scale, use of GPS is unrealistic, therefore, sensors need to self-organize a coordinate system Localization in WSN 12
- 13. GPS .. Why not ? (Cont.) 1. 2. 3. 4. Expensive GPS satellite signals are weak (when compared to, say, cellular phone signals), so it doesn't work as well indoors, underwater, under trees, etc. The highest accuracy requires line-of-sight from the receiver to the satellite, this is why GPS doesn't work very well in an urban environment The US DoD (dept of defense) can, at any given time, deny users use of the system (i.e. they degrade/shut down the satellites) Localization in WSN 13

- 15. 1- Target/Source Localization Most of the source localization methods are focused on the measured signal strength. To obtain the measurements, the node needs complex calculating process. Localization in WSN 15
- 16. 1- Target/Source Localization (Cont.) 1. The received signal strength of single target/source localization in WSN during time interval t: Localization in WSN 16
- 17. 1- Target/Source Localization (Cont.) 2. The received signal strength of multiple target/source localization in WSN during time interval t: Localization in WSN 17
- 18. 1- Target/Source Localization (Cont.) The Above methods require transmission of a large amount of data from sensors which may not be feasible under communication constraints. 3-4. The binary sensors sense signals ( infrared, acoustic, light, etc. ) from their vicinity, and they only become active by transmitting a signal if the strength of the sensed signal is above a certain threshold. Localization in WSN 18
- 19. 1- Target/Source Localization (Cont.) The binary sensor only makes a binary decision (detection or non-detection) regarding the measurement. Consequently, only its ID needs to be sent to the fusion center when it detects the target. Otherwise, it remains silent. So, the binary sensor is a low-power and bandwidth-efficient solution for WSN. Localization in WSN 19
- 21. 2- Node Self-localization Range-based Localization: uses the measured distance/angle to estimate the indoor location using geometric principles. Range-free Localization: uses the connectivity or pattern matching method to estimate the location. Distances are not measured directly but hop counts are used. Once hop counts are determined, distances between nodes are estimated using an average distance per hop and then geometric principles are used to compute location. Localization in WSN 21
- 22. 2-1 Range based localization Localization in WSN 22
- 23. 2-1 Range based localization (Cont.) 1. Time of arrival: (TOA) It’s a method that tries to estimate distance between 2 nodes using time based measures. Accurate but needs synchronization Localization in WSN 23
- 24. 2-1 Range based localization (Cont.) 2. Time Difference Of Arrival: (TDOA) It’s a method for determining the distance between a mobile station and a nearby synchronized base station. (Like AT&T) No synchronization needed but costly. Localization in WSN 24
- 25. 2-1 Range based localization (Cont.) 3. Received Signal Strength Indicator: (RSSI) Techniques to translate signal strength into distance Low cost but very sensitive to noise Localization in WSN 25
- 26. 2-1 Range based localization (Cont.) 4. Angle Of Arrival: (AOA) It’s a method that allows each sensor to evaluate the relative angles between received radio signals. Costly and needs extensive signal processing. Localization in WSN 26
- 27. 2-2 Range-free localization DV-Hop is the typical representation It doesn’t need to measure the absolute distance between the beacon node and unknown node. It uses the average hop distance to approximate the actual distances and reduces the hardware requirements. Localization in WSN 27
- 28. 2-2 Range-free localization (Cont.) Adv: Easy to implement and applicable to large network. Disadv: The positioning error is correspondingly increased. Localization in WSN 28
- 29. 2-2-1 DV-Hop 1. 2. 3. It is divided into 3 stages: Information broadcast Distance calculation Position estimation Localization in WSN 29
- 30. 1-Information broadcast The beacon nodes broadcast their location information package which includes hop count and is initialized to zero for their neighbors. The receiver records the minimal hop of each beacon nodes and ignores the larger hop for the same beacon nodes. The receiver increases the hop count by 1 and transmits it to neighbor nodes. All the nodes in a network can record the minimal hop counts of each beacon nodes. Localization in WSN 30
- 31. 2-Distance calculation According to the position of the beacon node and hop count, each beacon node uses the following equation to estimate the actual distance of every hop Localization in WSN 31
- 32. 3- Position estimation The beacon node will calculate the average distance and broadcast the information to network. The unknown nodes only record the first average distance and then transmit it to neighbor nodes. The unknown node calculates its location through. Localization in WSN 32

- 34. 2-2-1 Modified DV-Hop Localization in WSN 34
- 35. 2-2-2 Pattern Matching Localization 1. 2. Also called map-based or finger print algorithm. It involves 2 phases: The received signals at selected locations are recorded in an offline database called radio map. It works at the online state. The pattern matching algorithms are used to infer the location of unknown node by matching the current observed signal features to the prerecorded values on the map Localization in WSN 35
- 36. Classifications of Localization Methods The localization techniques can be classified with respect to various criteria: 1. Centralized vs Distributed 2. Range-free vs Range-based 3. Mobile vs Stationary 4. Coarse-grained vs fine-grained Localization in WSN 36
- 37. Centralized vs Distributed Centralized Data collected in the whole network are transmitted to the central unit that calculates the estimated location of each node in a network. Distributed Computation is distributed among the nodes Each node estimates its own position based on the local data gathered from its neighbors. Localization in WSN 37
- 38. Range-Free vs Range-Based Range-Free (connectivity) Makes no assumption about the availability or validity of such information, and use only connectivity information to locate the entire sensor network. Hop-Counting Techniques Range-Based (distance) Defined by protocols that use absolute point to point distance estimates (range) or angle estimates in location calculation. Localization in WSN 38
- 39. Mobile vs Stationary Mobile Stationary Localization in WSN 39
- 40. Coarse-grained vs finegrained Coarse-grained: finding approximate coordinates of nodes in a network so it provide lower precision estimates of this coordinates. Fine-grained: Determining precisely the coordinates but require much more communication and computation efforts. Localization in WSN 40
- 41. Summary WSN .. What & Why ? Distance estimation VS position computation VS localization algorithm Single/Multiple localization in WSN/WBSN Calculating the distance between sensor nodes ( TOA – TDOA – RSSI – AOA ) Localization in WSN 41
- 42. Summary Range-based methods require extra hardware therefore have a higher cost but provide more accurate distance measurements, whereas range-free methods use only connectivity information and so are less accurate. Range-free localization ( DV-Hop , Modified DV-Hop , pattern matching localization ) The localization techniques can be classified with respect to various criteria. They differ on the assumed localization precision, hardware capabilities, measurement and calculation methods, computing organization, the assumed network configuration, architecture, nodes properties and deployment, etc. Localization in WSN 42

Editor's Notes
- #25: TDOA is the location determination method that AT&T uses to locate a caller when they dial 911 from their mobile phone. TDOA calculates the location of a mobile phone by using the difference in the time of arrival of signals at different cell sites.
