Abstract Node localization is a fundamental task in wireless sensor networks as it is useful for several localization based protocols and applications. Node localization using Global Poisoning System (GPS) employed fixed terrestrial anchor nodes suffers from high deployment cost and poor localization accuracy in GPS denied locations. These issues can be easily handled by deploying movable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A movable UAV equipped with a single GPS module virtually increases number of anchor nodes and localizes a node at different locations. Hence, UAVs are cost effective and also provides high localization accuracy. As the flying altitude of UAV greatly influence localization accuracy, the present work firstly optimizes the flying height and then the node localization is defined as least square optimization problem using this optimal height. Since the classical received signal strength indicator based multilateration results high localization error, the least square localization using optimization techniques is found to be better alternative. The recently proposed Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a powerful optimization technique that can be applied for this optimization problem to achieve high accuracy. Thus, this paper aims at designing an ABC localization technique using UAV anchors to achieve minimum localization error. Further, we provide detailed simulation analysis to support the proposed ABC localization scheme. Keywords Localizations · UAV · Wireless sensor networks · DEA · ABC
1 Introduction The use of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become quite predominant in recent years because of availability of low cost and energy efficient wireless sensor nodes [1]. Large number of such sensor nodes can be connected to form a WSN that can be used

for disaster relief operation, military surveillance, environmental monitoring, medical observations, home applications and so on [2]. The sensor nodes in a given sensor field can be deployed either randomly or in a systematic way. During sensing certain phenomena (such as temperature, humidity, pressure, position, vibration, sound, chemical concentration etc.), each node in a WSN is supposed to know its location in physical world. If the location of the event is unknown, detection of that event is not particularly useful [3]. The Global Poisoning System (GPS) is a popular scheme that is used for outdoor positioning. However, the GPS has limitations, such as high energy consumption and expensive when it is deployed in a large quantity. The GPS requires a clear Line of Sight (LOS) b
