Abstract- The existing models for radio channel shadowing was considered to be independent. However the
shadowing on real world links are dependent. In this paper we review different wireless sensor network localization
algorithms which considers the the shadowing between different links to be correlated. For this we have used the
NeSH model.The shadowing between the links is modelled as log normal shadowing path loss model. The
algorithms in the different works are analysed and their results are discussed.

It is assumed that the shadowing on the links are
correlated. Gudmundson [2] modeled shadow fading
correlation for a mobile link with common base station. But
this model does not provide correlation for links that [4]
does not have common end points. Hence this model
cannot be used in adhoc sensor networks. The NeSH model
considers shadowing losses to be a function of that
environment. Hence the losses in geographically proximate
links are correlated. The shadowing is caused by an
environment in an underlying spatial loss field
. The
NeSH model assumes that
is an isotropic wide sense
stationary Gaussian random field with zero mean and
exponentially decaying spatial correlation.

6 CONCLUSION
This paper reviewed localization algorithms that consider
correlated shadowing for localization in wireless sensor
networks. Most papers available in literature consider the
errors in ranges used for localization as independent. This
results in poor performance when the algorithms are
deployed in real conditions. The performance improves
when the correlation is considered.
