Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) combines the concept of wireless network with sensors. Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for a multitude of location-dependent applications. Localization (location estimation) capability is essential in most wireless sensor network applications. In environmental monitoring applications such as animal habitat monitoring, bush fire surveillance, water quality monitoring and precision agriculture, the measurement data are meaningless without an accurate knowledge of the location from where the data are obtained. Finding position without the aid of GPS in each node of an ad hoc network is important in cases where GPS is either not accessible, or not practical to use due to power, form factor or line of sight conditions. So here we are going to used DV-Hop algorithm, i.e. distance vector routing algorithm for finding the position of sensor. Here we summarizes the performance evaluation criteria of the wireless sensor network and algorithms, classification methods, and highlights the principles and characteristics of the algorithm and system representative of the field in recent years, and several algorithms simulation and analysis.
Keywords: Wireless Sensor Network, Localization, DV-Hop, Range-based Algorithms, Range-free Algorithms.
