Search for Coordinates of WSN Nodes using Multidimensional Scaling Method

Abstract

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used for various Internet of Things applications. The sensor nodes are usually deployed randomly in the field. Thus, searching for node coordinates is one of the requirements to construct the network structure. With knowing distances between nodes and the coordinates of anchor nodes in a certain network fragment, we propose a method based on the multidimensional scaling for searching for desired node coordinates.
