Abstract

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 sensor network. Localization schemes are broadly divided into Range based and Range free. As localization is becoming popular, many attacks on the localization process are also on a rise. These attacks confuse the localization process and cause location estimation errors. The Range Based and Range free localization methods are available for obtaining the location of the sensor nodes. One of main challenge in localization is that the process can be made erroneous by launching various attacks. In this paper, we analyze the attacks on the Range Based methods and survey the current work on attack detection and resolution.
