| description | The localization of the nodes in wireless sensor networks is essential in establishing effective communication among different devices connected, within the Internet of Things. This paper proposes a novel method to accurately determine the position and distance of the wireless sensors linked in a local network. The method utilizes the signal strength received at the target node to identify its location in the localized grid system. The Most Valuable Player Algorithm is used to solve the localization problem. Initially, the algorithm is implemented on four test cases with a varying number of sensor nodes to display its robustness under different network occupancies. Afterward, the study is extended to incorporate actual readings from both indoor and outdoor environments. The results display higher accuracy in the localization of unknown sensor nodes than previously reported. |
