In this paper an augmented event triggered algorithm based on IR (infra red) and RSSI (received signal strength indicator) techniques has been proposed for a wireless sensor network. It is a distributed and low cost localization algorithm with extremely high precision and accuracy. The proposed localization algorithm has better performance as depicted by simulations. Also the results based on RF (radio frequency) localization with proposed technique on the basis of average localization error have been compared. With enhancement in average speed with respect to number of anchor nodes, average localization error is reduced for proposed techniques comparative to the RF techniques.
