Abstract

Localization is essential process in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to identify the current location of the event. Manual configuration of location of each sensor node is not possible in inaccessible area. On the hand installing GPS to every sensor is not feasible due to high cost. One way is to equip some node with GPS called anchor node. Based on the location information given by anchor node, other nodes measure their location. Most of the technique use anchor concept. This paper give an overview of node localization component and method used in wireless sensor networks covering its problems. Classification of localization method and several algorithm using genetic algorithm is also discussed.
