Abstract:
Some embodiments include a wireless sensor network including a plurality of sensor nodes each comprising: a signal receiver configured to receive intermediate information from at least one of one or more neighboring nodes of the plurality of sensor nodes, one or more processors configured to receive the intermediate information and update the intermediate information based on a soft-max approximation function, and a transmitter configured to send the intermediate information, as updated, to at least one of the one or more neighboring nodes of the plurality of sensor nodes. For each sensor node of the plurality of sensor nodes: the sensor node can store local location coordinates for the sensor node, and the sensor node can be devoid of receiving location coordinates for any other of the plurality of sensor nodes. The plurality of sensor nodes can be configured to communicate in a distributed manner for a first plurality of iterations until a final iteration of the first plurality of iterations when a predetermined stopping condition is satisfied. The plurality of sensor nodes can be further configured to generate an estimated center of the wireless sensor network based on the intermediate information updated in the final iteration of the first plurality of iterations. The wireless sensor network can be devoid of a fusion center. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11  further comprising:\n generating an estimated radius of the wireless sensor network based on the estimated center of the wireless sensor network using distributed communication among the plurality of nodes for a second plurality of iterations.
