ABSTRACT
We consider estimating the location of a target moving in a 2D plane by combining distance measurements from multiple sensors. Given that available energy in sensors is at a premium, it must be conserved by selecting fewer number of sensors to measure distance and communicate to a central tracker. While elsewhere we have presented various heuristics which together can form the basis for selection of a minimum of three sensors, in this paper we provide a theoretical basis for the heuristic that suggests that the three sensors must not be colinear.
