Node Positioning Algorithm in a Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract:

Node positioning technology in the Wireless sensor network is a very important issue. This article introduces the ant colony algorithm and its characteristics. It is a good solution to the static and dynamic portfolio optimization problem. The node positioning method in the wireless sensor network can be divided into two categories based ranging and no ranging. In order to get a higher positioning accuracy, and a further improvement the positioning accuracy, this paper introduces the ant colony optimization algorithm based on the first positioning method of the feasibility. The experimental results demonstrate the decrease of the number of transmitting beacon and the optimal mobile path after being optimized.
