RSSI Based Localization Scheme in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are most growing research area because of its low cost, infrastructure less, increase capabilities of nodes, real time and accurate. Localization is a major issue in the wireless sensor networks because it has a number of sensor nodes which are deployed at positions and they may not be fixed at their own position. In localization different techniques are used for distance and position estimation. In this paper we will focus on RSSI based localization in WSN which will show how to reduce location errors and improve accuracy by using various models and techniques. After that we will focus on how to make an algorithm scalable and improve the energy efficiency by providing authentication and key management.
