Wireless sensor networks （WSNs）hold the promise of many new applications in the area of monitoring and control. Sensor positioning is a fundamental and crucial issue for wireless network operation and management. The localization problem has received considerable attention in the past. This paper introduces the research state-of-the-art of localization methods and algorithms in WSNs. The technical highlight is the sort and review of some algorithms for node positioning. Finally, some public problems for accurately positioning in WSNs are discussed in the paper.
