This book is a practical resource for designing Internet of Things (IoT) networks and implementing IoT applications from the localization perspective.

With the emergence of IoT, machine to machine communication, Industrial IoT, and other societal applications, many applications require knowledge of the exact location of mobile IoT nodes in real-time. As the IoT nodes have computational and energy limitations, it is a crucial research challenge to optimize the network's performance with the highest localization accuracy. Many researchers are working towards such localization problems. However, there is no single book available for the detailed study on IoT node localization. This book provides one-stop multidisciplinary solutions for IoT node localization, design requirements, challenges, constraints, available techniques, comparison, related applications, and future directions. Special features included are theory supported by algorithmic development, treatment of optimization techniques, and applications.

In the fast-growing era, the evolution of technologies plays an important role, and the Internet is one of them. Although initially the Internet was designed to connect computers and for data communication, due to explosive growth in mobile and intelligent devices, there had been frequent evolution from 2.5G to 4G. This push is also driven by the innovative applications of the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT), and special access networks. With the imminent arrival of 5G, many communication challenges faced by today’s world may be resolved because of its extremely high data rates, low latency, scalability, availability, and coverage. It is expected that 10 million user devices would be connected to the network per square kilometre. There would be a 1000× increase in the data traffic, so there are challenges for the bandwidth efficiency.

The IoT has several applications such as smart cities, smart environment, utility metering, smart grid and energy, security and emergencies, retail, automotive and logistics, industrial automation and manufacturing, agriculture and farming, smart home/buildings, and real estate, health, life sciences, and wearables. The connectivity of a large number of devices in heterogeneous networks, energy consumption, node localization, routing of data packets, and security are the crucial challenges in IoT.
