Enhanced route planning for mobile anchors in localization of WSN

Abstract

Distributed sensors deployed in huge numbers in the observant field forming an ad hoc network is called as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The issue of uncertainty of location of a sensor node is called as localization. For identifying the location of a sensor node, a single mobile anchor has been utilized. The path of the mobile anchor is based on SCAN algorithm. Localization with single mobile anchor does not exhibit much accuracy. The data transfer of the gathered information is low. In our paper we propose a mechanism by customizing two mobile anchors in the same observant field. Our proposed method will achieve efficient data transfer rate and optimal localization of all the anchor nodes.
