Three-Dimensional Path Planning Model For Mobile Anchor-Assisted Localization In Wireless Sensor Networks

An extensive body of research has been accumulated on finding alternative methods for supplying nodes with their locations in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Although some path planning models in two-dimensional (2D) regions have been proposed in recent years, many WSNs' realistic applications are applied in three-dimensional (3D) regions. In this paper, we introduce a three-dimensional path planning model for mobile anchor-assisted localization in WSNs. Our proposed model offers higher performance in terms of localization accuracy with a lower error rate in comparison to other proposed models.
