Range-Free Network Localization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Location, Localization, and Localizability

Abstract

Range-free approaches locate nodes without the knowledge of internode distance measurements. Saving the cost of ranging hardware, they are more cost-efficient than range-based ones. Basically, range-free schemes rely on the coarse distance estimates between nodes. Hence, it is more challenging to obtain high localization.
