A novel distributive localization method using the angle of departure(AODL)is proposed to reduce the cost and complexity of existing localization methods for wireless sensor networks. The anchors emit time-division pilots to the network using multi-antenna system
and each sensor just utilizes single-antenna system to estimate the angle of departure(AOD)of the pilot
by which the sensor's position can be determined. The AODL only relies on radio transceivers
and the sensors estimate the angle information without the need of conventional multi-antenna system
so that the system complexity is greatly reduced. Moreover
the angle estimation and position calculation are conducted at each sensor in a completely distributed manner. The simulation results show that for a 100 m×100 m region
with the assistance of four anchors equipped with 3×3 uniform planar array
the average location error is within 1 m when the signal-to-noise ratio of each sensor is 15dB.
