Sensors Networks - Localization and Topology

Abstract

This paper examines various types of networks their characteristics and parameters. It is also looks in current ongoing research on the field of localization and positioning and work related with localization that doesn't take into account the parameter of distance between SRs. Another type of localization is also commented which is the localization in Telemetry. In addition, issues of network coverage and topology are analyzed. Network hole problems are also examined as they are of high importance when a network has to perform accurately and with a minor number of areas that are problematic or may degrade it's performance. It is easily understood that a network's overall performance is affected by a combination of attributes that need to be examined on a case by case basis.
