摘要：The recent innovations in wireless technology and digital electronics have opened many areas of research in Wireless Sensor Networks. In the last few years these networks have been successfully used in many applications such as localization, tracking, surveillance, battlefield monitoring, structural health monitoring, routing etc. Most of these applications need localization i.e. estimating location information either relative or absolute. In this paper we propose a computationally efficient algorithm namely, Light weight Multidimensional Scaling. This approach takes advantage of Nystrӧm approximation for estimating location of unknown sensor nodes, using the information of available distances between neighbours and anchors. Various node densities, noise factors and radio ranges are considered for simulation. The performance of the algorithm is obtained with Monte Carlo Simulation.
