“…Indeed, the authors in [30,76] focused on range-free localization techniques, whereas the authors in [28] focused on TOA-based localization techniques. In [22], the authors were interested in localization techniques for underwater acoustic networks, and [32] addressed map-based localization with a particular interest on fingerprinting methods namely deterministic, probabilistic and filtering approaches. On the other hand, this survey paper contributes to the state-of-the-art as compared to other generic and thorough surveys, such as [2,10,27,51,56,82], in the sense that it provides a comprehensive taxonomy of localization techniques and discusses in details the fundamental concepts of each techniques as well as its features and application contexts.…”
