Localization is an important issue in next generation wireless networks (NGWNs), such as
5G cellular networks, IEEE 802.11 ax WiFi networks, and wireless ad hoc sensor network …

Area-based localization algorithms use only the position of some reference nodes, called
anchors, to estimate the residence area of the remaining nodes. Existing algorithms use a …

In wireless networks, it is cost-effective to estimate the node-to-anchor distance by using the
distribution characteristics of nodes. Unfortunately, in practice, the network topology may be …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and large-scale IoT applications, node localization is a
challenging process to identify the location of the target or unknown nodes for accurate …

This paper introduces a Pascal's triangle model to draw the potential locations and their
probabilities for a normal node given the hop counts to the anchors according to the extent …

Locating the nodes of outdoor wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using (tri) lateration with a
low-cost ranging technique, such as the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), often …

Position awareness is very important for many sensor network applications. However, the
use of Global Positioning System receivers to every sensor node is very costly. Therefore …

This study proposes an analytic localization algorithm by utilizing radical centers. Assume
that a target node (blind node) can measure its distances to three or more anchor nodes …

As one of the key techniques in wireless sensor networks (WSN), localization algorithm has
been a research hot topic and indispensable function in most wireless applications. In order …

Multihop range-free localization methods could obtain relatively reasonable location
estimation in the isotropic network; however, during the practical application, it is often …
