Abstract
A method and system for sensor network localization including communicating with a plurality of directly neighboring sensor nodes to determine a patch in a sensor network, localizing the patch, generating a system of equations from computed local coordinates of the patch, incorporating global coordinates of a plurality of sensor nodes into the system of equations, and solving the equations using a distributed equation solver is described. The described methods and systems have utility in the arts of military, radio, police, fire, rescue, business, travel, and other diverse applications.
