Abstract

Location awareness in wireless networks depends on propagation conditions, transmitting resources, and nodes deployment. A well designed node deployment strategy can enhance the localization performance significantly. In this paper, we present a near-optimal algorithm for deploying assisting nodes in localization networks with limited infrastructure. First, we formulate the node deployment task as an optimization problem to minimize the localization error of an agent. Then, we develop a node deployment algorithm based on this formulation. Finally, we present a case study to validate the proposed algorithm.
