Localization has newly received research interest due to the success of the emerging wireless sensor network (WSN) technology. This interest is expected to grow further with the proliferation of wireless sensor network applications such as medicine, military, transport... In this context routing, protocols and technologies of communication on those wireless area are enormously applied to sensor networks in order to improve the quality of service and communication. Related to this work, we present on this article a briefly some techniques of localization techniques on wireless sensor networks and propose a localization method based on the angle of transmission of directional antenna and the energy consumption of the node when sending a data. Then we compare the mentioned method to TDOA technique (Time Differential Of Arrival) applied on the context of mobility characterizing the transport domain and compare their performance when localizing sensors in this kind of applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
