Improved DV-Hop Algorithm for Enhancing Localization Accuracy in WSN

Article Preview

Abstract:

Node Localization technology is one of key technologies in wireless sensor network. DV-Hop localization algorithm is a kind of range-free algorithm. In this paper, an improved DV-Hop algorithm aiming to enhance localization accuracy is proposed. To enhance localization accuracy, average per-hop distance is replaced by corrected value of global average per-hop distance and global average per-hop error. When calculating hop distance, unknown nodes use corresponding average per-hop distance expression according to different hop value. Comparison with DV-Hop algorithm, simulation results show that the improved DV-Hop algorithm can reduce the localization error and enhance the accuracy of sensor nodes localization more effectively.
