Abstract. Localization is a prerequisite for almost all monitoring
or control tasks in wireless sensor network.
Analysing characteristics of
localizable
wireless sensor network and designing an efficient localization system
under a variety of working environments· are recent horizons in sensor
network that needs to be reviewed. Being very resources
restricted networks the most critical requirement for life of sensor network is
to control the usage of energy. To be energy
efficient nodes are synchronized with neighbouring nodes and contributing
in collection of ranging data to estimate the position of sensor network, Further,
the computation for localization
is not based
on some central nodes but the whole set of nodes contributes so it is distributive in nature. The prime focus
of this work is to integrate the media access control scheme to the localization process
of wireless sensor network. This paper presents
the design overview of the localization system tunnelled with the standards of sensor
MAC protocol
and details the control structure needed. In this paper we have discussed every
minute aspect of sensor network localization model including the topology, mobility,
and channel and propagation schemes with scheduled transmission access.
