Range-based localization in underwater wireless sensor networks using deep neural network: poster abstract

Abstract

In underwater wireless sensor networks (USWNs), localizing unknown nodes is essential for most applications while is more complex than that of terrestrial WSNs. In this paper, we propose a range-based localization scheme using deep neural network (DNN). Numerical results suggest that the proposed DNN localization algorithm outperforms traditional schemes using least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) or generalized least squares (GLS) in terms of localization accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, the proposed algorithm requires a small number of anchor nodes, which is plausible for practical applications.
