Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), localization process is considered as a major challenge which is intended to maximize with minimized traveling distance of the beacon node. Further, the important issue is to improve coverage area of the anchor-based node and accuracy in calculation of the location of nodes. This paper mainly focuses on an enhanced path planning model using beacon node based upon their location. The proposed model focuses to improve coverage of the network topology by moving in zig-zag path fashion so that it will enhance the reachability of message in almost every possible corner of the deployed area. The proposed model is simulated extensively in a self-simulator with different scenarios and compared with SCAN and anchor-based model. The tested performance of the model is presented along with its analytical model. The simulation result shows that the proposed model gives the better performance as compared to all others existing model in terms of percentage of nodes settled and energy consumption.
