An Improvement to Advanced Centroid Location Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

On the basis of ACLA(Advanced Centroid Location Algorithm), IACLA(Improvement to Advanced Centroid Location Algorithm)was proposed. IACLA used the located unknown nodes and beacon nodes to get the final estimate. It was equivalent to weighted centroid location algorithm, and made the weights more reasonable. Analysis and simulation results show that IACLA produces smaller error than ACLA with the same coverage rate of location.
