Abstract

Localization is an important aspect in the field of wireless sensor networks that has attracted significant research interest recently. The interest in wireless sensor network localization is expected to grow further with the advances in the wireless communication techniques and the sensing techniques, and the consequent proliferation of wireless sensor network applications. This chapter provides an overview of various aspects involved in the design and implementation of wireless sensor network localization systems. These can be broadly classified into three categories: the measurement techniques in sensor network localization, sensor network localization theory and algorithms, and experimental study and applications of sensor network localization techniques. This chapter also gives a brief introduction to the other chapters in the book with a focus on explaining how these chapters are related to each other and how topics covered in each chapter fit into the architecture of this book and the big picture of wireless sensor network localization.
