Thelocalizationproblemhasreceivedconsiderableattentioninthepast,asmanyapplicationsneedtoknowwhereobjectsorpersonsare,andhencevariouslocationserviceshavebeencreated.Undoubtedly,theGlobalPositioningSystem（GPS）isthemostwell-knownlocationserviceinusetoday.TheapproachtakenbyGPS,however,isunsuitableforlow-cost,ad-hocsensornetworkssinceGPSis based on extensive infrastructure （i.e., satellites）.
