Abstract
Upcoming applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have triggered a large affinity towards researchers. WSN has offered a vast pool of applications, where localization is a the ultimate goal. Several algorithms were proposed to meet the goal of Positioning. The major points, which affect the accuracy of such algorithms, are the anchor node placement in wireless network and noise reduction in the data, required for positioning calculation. In this paper, two anchor placement algorithms for static sensor nodes after the deployment are suggested, examined and their performances are compared in a common scenario. Overall the aforesaid algorithms demands almost full coverage in the network with a reasonable number of anchors and fault tolerant capacity for robustness and accuracy, which is satisfied by our proposals.
