Case-study of localization via WSN using distributed compressed sensing

Distributed compressed sensing task can be parallelized into several nodes that is highly suitable for using in Wireless Sensor Networks. Localization is one of the critical tasks solved in wireless systems. This paper investigates the possibilities of localization using compressed sensing implemented on wireless nodes and aggregation node. The presented case study simulates the application scenario of a target deployed in the field. This target is being localized by the wireless sensor network based on the emitted acoustic signal. Several types of the emitted signals have been used during the simulation runs. The emphasis was put on the properties of the reconstruction process such as compression ratio and minimization of the reconstruction error.
