An unknown-position sensor can be localized if there are three or more anchors making time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements of a signal from it. However, the location errors can be very large due to the fact that some of the measurements are…
Network tomography has been used as an approach to the Node Failure Localisation problem, whereby misbehaving subsets of nodes in a network are to be determined. Typically approaches in the literature assume a statically routed network,…
