Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks (WSN)is a multi-disciplinary field of study, with a very broad range of applications, meanwhile WSN localization is a very important research direction. Current researches in WSN localization algorithms are introduced, and these researches are summarized and concluded. According to distance measurement, location algorithms were divided into two categories, and in a specific algorithm following features were discussed, including anchor-based / anchor-free, centralized / distributed, fixed / mobile and so on.

Key words: wireless sensor network, localization algorithm, distance measurement
