This document discusses localization techniques for wireless sensor networks. It begins by defining localization as identifying a sensor node's position and explains how accuracy is important. It then describes two main categories of localization techniques: range-based and range-free. Range-based uses distance or angle measurements between nodes for higher accuracy but requires expensive hardware. Range-free relies on information from nearby nodes and is less accurate but cheaper. The document reviews several specific localization algorithms from previous research and their limitations. It concludes by stating that energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks due to limited battery life.
