Abstract

Localization accuracy is very important in WSN.As localization of sensor nodes is required to know the location of origin of events. Because of cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency and no need of additional hardware for localization, Range-free localization algorithms are important research topic. This paper presents an improved localization algorithm based on genetic algorithm. MATLAB simulations are done for comparisons with previous Range-free algorithms
