Weighted localization in mobile wireless networks

Localization of wireless devices is a crucial requirement for many emerging applications such as environmental monitoring, intelligent transportation, home automation, health-care monitoring and social networking. In this letter, we propose AWL a new Aggregate Weighted Localization algorithm for mobile wireless networks. The proposed algorithm is distributed and requires low computational and communication overheads enabling its use in resource-limited devices.
