Localization of Sensors in Wireless Sensor Networks

Deployment of Wireless Sensors encounter the first challenge of localization prior routing and networking. Localization can consume considerable energy of the already resource hungry sensors. Offloading the localization problem to the base station through a set of mobile sinks can facilitate high levels of computations which can enable localization as well as the routing protocol establishment. The paper brings out simple mathematical model of location estimation of the sensor nodes.
