Passive localization is an important and
challenging issue in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
when there are no anchor nodes or coordinates or
distances available. We develop a passive, directional
localization algorithm where each node must be
aware of its position and orientation relative to the
network. This variant is especially relevant for the
applications in which mobile nodes are required to
move in a collaborative manner. Our solution exactly
approximates the location of each mobile sensor node
by determining the components of the independently
moving sensor node using geometric constructions,
which in turn guarantees a scalable and range-free
solution for the localization problem that does not
require a high node density. Furthermore, based on
our localization algorithm, we introduce the
mechanism to preserve network formation during
directed mobility in Mobile Sensor Networks. We
provide a thorough evaluation of our approach and
show that it’s stable over time for a respective speed
and is applicable to dense as well as sparse
deployment.
