Abstract

WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) are becoming more widely used in various fields, and localization is a crucial and essential issue for sensor network applications. In this letter, we propose a low-complexity localization mechanism for WSNs that operate in 3D (three-dimensional) space. The basic idea is to use aerial vehicles that are deliberately equipped with anchor nodes. These anchors periodically broadcast beacon signals containing their current locations, and unknown nodes receive these signals as soon as the anchors enter their communication range. We estimate the locations of the unknown nodes based on the proposed scheme that transforms the 3D problem into 2D computations to reduce the complexity of 3D localization. Simulated results show that our approach is an effective scheme for 3D self-positioning in WSNs.
