Localization in Wireless Sensor Network A Review

Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs are widely used in hazardous, remote, and large scale environments where manual deployment and maintenance are difficult. One of the most critical issues in WSNs is node localization, as the location information of sensor nodes is essential for efficient network operation and accurate interpretation of sensed data. Localization plays a key role in supporting various application level tasks, especially in monitoring applications such as environmental observation, industrial supervision, and disaster management. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of localization in wireless sensor networks. It discusses the major challenges associated with localization, examines different localization techniques, and reviews commonly used localization algorithms. The aim of this paper is to present a clear and structured understanding of existing localization approaches and highlight their importance in WSN based monitoring applications.
