ABSTRACT

In this chapter we present a new trajectory for mobile anchor based locaization and optimization technique for minizing the localization error using Dolphin Swarm Algorithm (DSA). The proposed trajectory ensures network coverage, minimum localizaiton error, high localization accuracy and minimum path length. Also, it guarantees that each sensor node receives atleast three non collinear beacon messages for localizing themselves. DSA is proven to be an effcient algorithm for optimizing the functions. Especially for models with lesser dimensions, DSA outperforms all other techniques. Hence, we utilized DSA for optimizing the localization by minimizing the localization error.Also, We proved that optimized localization approach outperforms traditional approaches.
