Anchor-Based Localization via Interval Analysis for Mobile Ad-Hoc Sensor Networks
2009
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing
Location awareness is a fundamental requirement for many applications of sensor networks. This paper proposes an original technique for self-localization in mobile ad-hoc networks. ...
The problem is then formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem where a simple Waltz algorithm is applied in order to contract the solution. ...
The novelty of our work is that we define locations as intervals covering all acceptable solutions with respect to the given constraints instead of using approximated values. ...

Our main result is the first polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for MLkFL on line metrics (note that no non-trivial true approximation of any kind was known for this metric). ...
