Mobile technology has significantly simplified networking by enabling multiple users to share resources simultaneously in home and business environments without the need for additional or intrusive wiring. A mobile network typically consists of hundreds or thousands of nodes along with a limited number of data collection devices. Localization of these mobile nodes is a critical issue, as many applications require precise position information. Various localization methods based on mobile anchor nodes have been proposed to assist mobile nodes in determining their positions. However, most of these approaches do not focus on optimizing the trajectory of the mobile anchor node. To address this limitation, a path planning scheme is proposed that optimizes the trajectory of the mobile anchor node. The proposed approach aims to minimize localization error while ensuring that all mobile nodes are able to accurately determine their locations.
