Abstract

Objectives/methodology: Localization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has long been one of the most interesting areas that researchers continue to study. This study presents the methodology of mathematical model for multilateration localization in WSNs verified by a simulation model using the NS-2 simulator.

Findings: The new modules added to NS-2 can be extended to various rangebased localization techniques, which help many researchers in this field.

Applications: This work makes a comparative study of atomic and iterative multilateration localization according to different performance metrics.

Keywords: Multilateration, Localization, NS-2, Simulation, WSN.
