Performance Study of Localization schemes in Wireless Sensor Networks

As a new model of smart information acquisition wireless sensor networks have broad application prospects whose basic supporting technology is node localization. Although classical MDS localization method is preeminent and attractive work, it is not satisfied and cannot well suitable for sensor networks in adverse circumstances. In this paper, based on classical MDS-MAP algorithm, we proposed an improved localization algorithm for multi-dimensional scaling to address this issue. Extensive simulations show that the algorithm gives good results for networks with low density.
