Abstract:
In this paper, we present a variable radius pseudo formation control based trajectory algorithm to determine the optimal trajectory and the transmission radius of a moving beacon used in localization of the sensor nodes in real-time. The trajectory and the radius of transmission of the GPS based position information of the moving beacon influences the accuracy of localization, and the power consumed by the beacon to localize. Localization accuracy and reduction in the number of position information messages can be achieved, in real-time, by determining the optimal position and transmission radius from where the beacon should transmit its next position information. This will decrease the time required to localize, and power consumed by the beacon.
