  Abstract

WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) are becoming more widely used in various fields, and improving localization performance is a crucial and essential issue for sensor network applications. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity localization mechanism for WSNs that operates in 3D (Three-Dimensional) space. The basic idea is to use aerial vehicles or flying objects that are deliberately equipped with the anchor nodes. These anchor nodes periodically broadcast beacon signals containing their current locations, and the unknown nodes receive these signals as soon as they enter the communication range of the anchors. We estimate the locations of the unknown nodes based on the proposed scheme that transforms the 3D problem into 2D computations to reduce the complexity of 3D localization. Simulated results show that our approach is an effective scheme for 3D self-positioning in WSNs.
