Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  consider the problem of determining the location of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor ad hoc network when only connectivity information is available, i.e., one only knows if a pair of nodes is within a fixed radio range (distance) of each other but does not have access to exact or even approximate distance information.  propose a maximum likelihood based reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct the node positions in a   $d$   -dimensional Euclidean space. For an   $n$  -node network, the constrained maximum likelihood estimation problem is non-convex in both the   $d \times n$   node position matrix   $X$   and in the Gram matrix   $Q_{X}=X^{\top} X$  .  derive an upperbound on the average Frobenius norm of the estimation error in   $Q$  , which is of the order of the reciprocal of square root of   $n$   for a fixed radio range.  present a set of algorithms for finding the maximum likelihood estimate of   $X$   by first embedding   $d \times n~X$   into   $m \times n~Y$  , factorizing   $Q_{Y} = Y^{\top} Y$  ,   $d \leq m \leq n$   , and then optimizing in   $Y$  .  relate local minima in   $Y$   to the global minimum of a relaxed convex formulation in   $Q_{Y}$   to provide global convergence guarantees, despite the nonconvexity of the negative log-likelihood function in    $Y$  .  demonstrate that our algorithm is empirically successful for both uniform and irregular networks, using only a few anchor nodes. Finally, numerical experiments demonstrate improved performance of the proposed algorithm relative to the MDS algorithm and a variant.
