Abstract

Localization is an important part of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), therefore without the location’s information, messages will be missed. Basically, there are many localization algorithms to localize a node in WSN, however when we handle the number of anchors, we influence the accuracy of the localization, in this paper we shall first explore various techniques of localization, and in the second step we shall compare their performance in term of accuracy, we will also demonstrate that increasing the number of anchors, influences the accuracy of each localization technique.
