| Abstract | As the field of sensor networks matures, research in this area is focusing not only on fixed networks, but also on mobile sensor networks. For many reasons, both technical and logistical, such networks will often be very sparse for all or part of their operation, sometimes functioning more as disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs). While much work has been done on localization methods for densely populated fixed networks, most of these methods are inefficient or ineffective for sparse mobile networks, where connections can be infrequent. While some mobile networks rely on fixed location beacons or per-node, onboard GPS, these methods are not always possible due to cost, power and other constraints.In this paper we present the Low-density Collaborative Ad-Hoc Localization Estimation (LOCALE) system for sparse sensor networks. In LOCALE, each node estimates its own position, and collaboratively refines that location estimate by updating its prediction based on neighbors it encounters. Nodes also estimate (as a probability density function) the likelihood their prediction is accurate. We evaluate LOCALE's collaborative localization both through real implementations running on sensor nodes, as well as through simulations of larger systems. We consider scenarios of varying density (down to 0.02 neighbors per communication attempt), as well as scenarios that demonstrate LOCALE's resilience in the face of extremely-inaccurate individual nodes. Overall, our algorithms yield up to a median of 21X better accuracy for location estimation compared to existing approaches. In addition, by allowing nodes to refine location estimates collaboratively, LOCALE also reduces the need for fixed location beacons (i.e. GPS-enabled beacon towers) by as much as 64X. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
