Inhalt:
The world coordinates of an unlocalized node in a wireless sensor network can be determined GPS-less with the help of established neighbors, that already have obtained their coordinates by means of triangulation. It is state of the art to improve a position estimate by taking an average of several estimates, if available. In this paper, we will present an analytical approach to decrease the expected error of the average calculation, only by using information which is already available.
