Abstract

Target tracking techniques usually assume that the target is within the detection range of one or more sensor nodes at known locations, so that the target's location can be determined based on these locations. Instead, we are interested in networks where most sensor nodes do not know their location; hence, it is most likely that the target is many hops away from the closest location-known sensors. For such networks, we propose a target localization system that can estimate the target location based on hop-count information only. We evaluate the performance of this system via simulation.
