On asynchronous training in sensor networks

Due to their small form factor and modest energy budget it is infeasible to endow individual sensors with GPS capabilities. Yet, numerous applications require sensors to have a coarse-grain location awareness. The task of acquiring this coarse-grain location awareness is referred to as training. The...
