Localization for Anchoritic Sensor Networks

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new class of sensor networks called anchoritic networks, where communication between nodes is intentionally avoided due to environmental, energy, or security reasons, posing unique localization challenges.

Contribution

The paper defines anchoritic sensor networks and explores localization techniques suitable for environments where communication between nodes is restricted or impossible.

Findings

Proposes localization methods tailored for anchoritic networks

Addresses challenges posed by communication constraints in harsh environments

Lays groundwork for secure and energy-efficient sensor deployments

Abstract

We introduce a class of anchoritic sensor networks, where communications between sensor nodes is undesirable or infeasible, e.g., due to harsh environment, energy constraints, or security considerations.
