Localization in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is defined as the collection of techniques to measure the spatial relationship between nodes and physical objects. Localization is the problem of determining the position of an object with respect to another object. Routing information, a crucial component in WSN, is enhanced by localization. Many real-world applications now require tracking or monitoring of physical objects in closed environments, such as hospitals, mines, airports and subways. While global positioning systems (GPS) would appear to be an obvious tracking solution, GPS is still relatively expensive, power hungry and has degraded performance when used in indoor locations. WSNs are a solution to the problem of performing wide-area monitoring and surveillance. Incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) is essential in the monitoring and tracking of large systems. Entities, ranging from objects to users, are equipped with WSN and RFID tags to gather their context information. Using agents’ unique identifiers in WSN improves network manageability and scalability.

无线传感器网络（WSN）中的定位被定义为测量节点和物理对象之间空间关系的技术集合。定位是确定一个物体相对于另一个物体的位置的问题。路由信息是无线传感器网络的一个重要组成部分，通过定位可以增强路由信息。许多现实世界的应用现在需要跟踪或监控封闭环境中的物理对象，如医院、矿山、机场和地铁。虽然全球定位系统（GPS）似乎是一个明显的跟踪解决方案，但GPS仍然相对昂贵，耗电，并且在室内位置使用时性能下降。无线传感器网络是解决广域监控问题的一种方法。结合射频识别（RFID）是必不可少的监测和跟踪大型系统。实体，从对象到用户，都配备了WSN和RFID标签来收集其上下文信息。在WSN中使用代理的唯一标识符提高了网络的可管理性和可扩展性。
