Abstract

In this paper, we develop and evaluate a Localization Anomaly Detection (LAD) scheme for non-flat surfaces for wireless sensor networks. The beacon-less grid localization scheme proposed for non-flat terrains in [1] is used for localization and the localization anomaly detection uses observations of the sensor node at two different reception ranges. Moreover, a new Signal Strength (SS) Metric is proposed and evaluated for LAD. Simulations show that the beacon-less localization method when combined with the LAD scheme gives good detection rates with low false positive rates for the proposed Signal Strength Metric and the Difference Metric. The results show that Signal Strength Metric is comparable to existing metrics while being more difficult to attack.
