Error Analysis of Localization Systems for Sensor Networks Horacio A.B.F. Oliveira, Eduardo F. Nakamura, Antonio A. F. Loureiro, and Azzedine Boukerche   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Session 2: Sensor Networks Abstract The establishment of a localization system is an important task in wireless sensor networks. Due to the geographic correlation of the sensed data, location information is commonly used to name the gathered data, address nodes and regions, and also improve the performance of many geographic algorithms. Depending on the localization algorithm, different error behaviors (e.g., mean, probability distribution, and correlation) can be exhibited by the sensor network. The process of understanding and a ... ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
