Wireless localization techniques are an area that has attracted interest from both industry
and academia, with self-localization capability providing a highly desirable characteristic of
wireless sensor networks. Localization Algorithms and Strategies for Wireless Sensor
Networks encompasses the significant and fast growing area of wireless localization
techniques. This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of topics and
fundamental theories underpinning measurement techniques and localization algorithms. A …

This chapter discusses localization in WSNs specifically focusing on the physical limitations
imposed by the wireless channel. Location awareness and different methods for localization
are discussed. Particular attention is given to indoor TOA based ranging and positioning
systems. Various aspects of WSN localization are addressed and performance results for
cooperative schemes are presented.
