Abstract

In sensor networks, several applications such as habitat monitoring and moving objects tracking, require the knowledge of nodes positions. Position estimation most often includes errors due to the measurements of distance and incoming angles between neighbors. Erroneous positions are propagated from a node to other nodes exacerbating the degree of errors in the estimation of the positions of these nodes. In this paper, we propose a new localization method, called HA-A2L. Compared, via simulations, to previous methods, such as APS and A2L, HA-A2L considerably increases the number of located nodes with far better accuracy.
