Localization is one of the challenges in achieving reliable communication in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Estimating a sensor's node's position is known as Localization. Nonlinear version of Kalman filtering is known as the ExtendedKalman Filter which deals with the case governed by the nonlinear stochastic differential equations, Extended kalman filter is nonlinear filter having their own problem of consistency. In this paper proposed efficient localization algorithm that enables sensor nodes to estimate their location with high accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to develop the particle swarm optimization assisted Extended Kalman Filter (PSO-EKF) for Localization in WSN. Performance evaluation for the PSO-EKF as compared to the conventional KF could be better for time critical 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.
