Abstract
In wireless sensor network, node localization is helpful in reporting the event's origin, assisting querying of sensors, routing, and various cyber-physical system applications, where sensors are required to report geographically meaningful data for location-based applications. One of the accurate ways of localization is the use of anchor nodes which are generally equipped with global positioning system. However, in range-based approaches used in literature, like Angle of Arrival, the accuracy and precision decreases in case of multipath fading environment. Therefore, this chapter proposes an angle of signal propagation-based method where each node emits only two signals in a particular direction and knows its approximate position while receiving the second signal. Further, a method is proposed to define the coordinates of the nodes in reference to a local coordinate frame. The proposed method does the work with a smaller number of transmissions in the network even in the presence of malicious adversaries.
