Location estimation of sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks is very essentials because without information of location the information is meaningless. Most of the range-free algorithms have low localization accuracy, low cost, and applications limited to indoor uses only. This paper proposes a Mobility Prediction localization algorithm using the Link expiration time estimation method, this concept brings continuous link among the anchors and the mobile sensor nodes. This gives more accurate position estimation (3.2% of R) and employs fewer samples (average 20.58 per slot) for the task, hence results in less energy consumption than a Sequential Monte Carlo localization scheme. Both the algorithms are studied, analyzed and compared with speed of the mobile nodes in terms of localization error (6.38% to 6.55% better on different anchor density) communication cost (51.72% high), the number of samples taken per slot (average 58.8% less) and residual energy profile.
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.
