Throughput enhancement of wireless sensor network localization accuracy against jamming attacks

Localization refers to locating the position or area in which the sensor or object to be tracked. Based on the localization, many applications are emerging in the wireless sensor network. Since the wireless sensor network is a shared medium, jamming attacks can be launched by adversary emitting the...

description Localization refers to locating the position or area in which the sensor or object to be tracked. Based on the localization, many applications are emerging in the wireless sensor network.
