Objectives: The objectives of this study is to propose a localization scheme that meets the requirements of Mobile Sensor Networks (MSNs) in terms of high localization accuracy, lower power consumption and high network coverage. Methods: In this study, a localization scheme has been proposed to allow sensor nodes to estimate their locations using information transmitted by a set of anchor nodes that know their own locations. The proposed scheme performs localization process in a more general network environment where no special hardware for ranging is available, the prior deployment of anchor nodes is unknown, the anchor nodes density is low, the node distribution is irregular, and where sensor nodes and anchors can move uncontrollably. The proposed scheme applies the Kalman Filter (KF) technique to combine the information from anchor nodes to estimate the location of sensor nodes. The KF takes into account the different uncertainties and error sources that disturb the localization process. Findings: The proposed scheme has been compared with the two classes of Flexible Optimal Kalman Filtering FOKF algorithm (FOKFO and FOKF-R) under different mobility models and extensive simulations in large scale network. The results show that the proposed scheme has a lower localization error and lower communication cost than the FOKF algorithm which leads to maximizing network lifetime and energy saving. The proposed scheme has an improved percentage of localization accuracy than FOKF-O and FOKF-R by 5.0% and 4.0% respectively, also it has an improved percentage of coverage than FOKF-O and FOKF-R by 10.0% and 5.0% respectively, finally it has a less number of transmitted beacon messages than FOKF-O and FOKFR by 171 and 113 packets respectively which leads to maximizing network lifetime. Novelty/Applications: The proposed scheme is considered a suitable localization solution for resource-limited sensor nodes in terms of memory limitations, energy consumption and localization accuracy.
