为了减小DV-Hop算法在无线传感器网络节点定位中的误差,提出了一种基于混合人工蜂群算法的改进算法。该算法结合了粒子群算法收敛速度快和蜂群算法搜索能力强的特性,首先通过DV-Hop算法估计锚节点与未知节点之间的距离,然后采用粒子群算法计算未知节点的初始位置,最后利用蜂群算法进行迭代求精,从而实现基于不同距离测量方法的总体优化。仿真结果表明,改进算法的定位精度较DV-Hop算法和基于粒子群的定位算法有明显改善。     

无线传感器网络中DV-Hop定位方法的一种改进策略

原DV-Hop(Distance Vector-Hop)方法的定位步骤可归纳为两步：距离估计与位置计算。其中,距离估计精度对网络拓扑敏感,而位置计算算法对距离估计精度敏感,从而导致方法整体对多样性网络拓扑分布的鲁棒性较差。针对这一问题进行分析与改进,在距离估计阶段提出基于1跳内最近邻信标与其余信标的跳数连接关系独立确定未知节点与各信标间平均跳距的策略,以此改善未知节点与信标之间的距离估计误差;在位置计算阶段提出在原有Lateration算法的基础上增加牛顿迭代法优化步骤,以此提高定位精度。实验结果表明,在相同的网络条件下,与原DV-Hop方法和其他典型改进方法相比,改进策略首先在距离估计阶段提高了距离估计精度,进而在位置计算阶段提高了对距离估计误差的鲁棒性,从而整体上可有效提高全网未知节点的定位精度。     

Power efficient range-free localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Considering energy consumption, hardware requirements, and the need of high localization accuracy, we proposed a power efficient range-free localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks. In the proposed algorithm, anchor node communicates to unknown nodes only one time by which anchor nodes inform about their coordinates to unknown nodes. By calculating hop-size of anchor nodes at unknown nodes one complete communication between anchor node and unknown node is eliminated which drastically reduce the energy consumption of nodes. Further, unknown node refines estimated hop-size for better estimation of distance from the anchor nodes. Moreover, using average hop-size of anchor nodes, unknown node calculates distance from all anchor nodes. To reduce error propagation, involved in solving for location of unknown node, a new procedure is adopted. Further, unknown node upgrades its location by exploiting the obtained information in solving the system of equations. In mathematical analysis we prove that proposed algorithm has lesser propagation error than distance vector-hop (DV-Hop) and other considered improved DV-Hop algorithms. Simulation experiments show that our proposed algorithm has better localization performance, and is more computationally efficient than DV-Hop and other compared improved DV-Hop algorithms.     

An Advanced DV-Hop Localization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

In emerging sensor network applications, localization in wireless sensor network is a recent area of research. Requirement of its applications and availability of resources need feasible localization algorithm with lower cost and higher accuracy. In this paper, we propose an Advanced DV-Hop localization algorithm that reduces the localization error without requiring additional hardware and computational costs. The proposed algorithm uses the hop-size of the anchor (which knows its location) node, from which unknown node measures the distance. In the third step of Advanced DV-Hop algorithm, inherent error in the estimated distance between anchor and unknown node is reduced. To improve the localization accuracy, we use weighted least square algorithm. Furthermore, location of unknown nodes is refined by using extraneous information obtained by solving the equations. By mathematical analysis, we prove that Advanced DV-Hop algorithm has lesser correction factor in the distance between anchor and the unknown node compared with DV-Hop algorithm, improved DV-Hop algorithm (Chen et al. 2008) and improved DV-Hop algorithm (Chen et al. in IEICE Trans Fundam E91-A(8), 2008), which is cause of better location accuracy. Simulation results show that the performance of our proposed algorithm is superior to DV-Hop algorithm and improved DV-Hop algorithms in all considered scenarios.

The issue of underwater sensor network (UWSN) localization has led to the aim of techniques presented in recent years. In this paper, we develop Doppler shift with Archimedes Optimization Algorithm for localizing unknown nodes in UWSN. The projected method predicts that sink node plays a major function in managing the computational load contrasted with the remaining nodes in the network of underwater. This node localization is proceeding with frequency shifts of sound waves contrasted toward real, which are present once observer in addition source can be mobile as they do in a marine atmosphere. The proposed technique is utilized to compute the estimated position of an unknown sensor node; here Archimedes' optimization algorithm is utilized to reduce the error during localization of nodes in UWSNs. This proposed technique can be enhancing the accuracy of the localization of nodes in UWSNs. This proposed methodology can be implemented and evaluated with the help of performance metrics. To validate the proposed technique's efficiency, it is contrasted with conventional techniques like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA).

Novel DV-Hop localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Many improved DV-Hop localization algorithm have been proposed to enhance the localization accuracy of DV-Hop algorithm for wireless sensor networks. These proposed improvements of DV-Hop also have some drawbacks in terms of time and energy consumption. In this paper, we propose Novel DV-Hop localization algorithm that provides efficient localization with lesser communication cost without requiring additional hardware. The proposed algorithm completely eliminates communication from one of the steps by calculating hop-size at unknown nodes. It significantly reduces time and energy consumption, which is an important improvement over DV-Hop—based algorithms. The algorithm also uses improvement term to refine the hop-size of anchor nodes. Furthermore, unconstrained optimization is used to achieve better localization accuracy by minimizing the error terms (ranging error) in the estimated distance between anchor node and unknown node. Log-normal shadowing path loss model is used to simulate the algorithms in a more realistic environment. Simulation results show that the performance of our proposed algorithm is better when compared with DV-Hop algorithm and improved DV-Hop—based algorithms in all considered scenarios.     

An improvement of DV-Hop localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

An improved DV-HOP localization algorithm is proposed based on the traditional DV-HOP localization algorithm in the paper. There will be a big error that using the nearest anchor node’s average hop distance instead of the average hop distance of all the anchor nodes that involved in the localizing in the traditional DV-HOP localization algorithm. Therefore, the improved algorithm introduces threshold M, it uses the weighted average hop distances of anchor nodes within M hops to calculate the average hop distance of unknown nodes. In addition, the positioning results are corrected in the improved algorithm. The simulation results show that the new localization algorithm effectively improves the positioning accuracy compared with the traditional DV-HOP localization algorithm, it is an effective localization algorithm in the wireless sensor networks.

MANCL: a multi‐anchor nodes collaborative localization algorithm for underwater acoustic sensor networks

Localization is an essential and major issue for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs). Almost all the applications in UASNs are closely related to the locations of sensors. In this paper, we propose a multi‐anchor nodes collaborative localization (MANCL) algorithm, a three‐dimensional (3D) localization scheme using anchor nodes and upgrade anchor nodes within two hops for UASNs. The MANCL algorithm divides the whole localization process into four sub‐processes: unknown node localization process, iterative location estimation process, improved 3D Euclidean distance estimation process, and 3D DV‐hop distance estimation process based on two‐hop anchor nodes. In the third sub‐process, we propose a communication mechanism and a vote mechanism to determine the temporary coordinates of unknown nodes. In the fourth sub‐process, we use two‐hop anchor nodes to help localize unknown nodes. We also evaluate and compare the proposed algorithm with a large‐scale localization algorithm through simulations. Results show that the proposed MANCL algorithm can perform better with regard to localization ratio, average localization error, and energy consumption in UASNs.

Path planning using a mobile anchor node based on trilateration in wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), many applications require sensor nodes to obtain their locations. Now, the main idea in most existing localization algorithms has been that a mobile anchor node (e.g., global positioning system‐equipped nodes) broadcasts its coordinates to help other unknown nodes to localize themselves while moving according to a specified trajectory. This method not only reduces the cost of WSNs but also gets high localization accuracy. In this case, a basic problem is that the path planning of the mobile anchor node should move along the trajectory to minimize the localization error and to localize the unknown nodes. In this paper, we propose a Localization algorithm with a Mobile Anchor node based on Trilateration (LMAT) in WSNs. LMAT algorithm uses a mobile anchor node to move according to trilateration trajectory in deployment area and broadcasts its current position periodically. Simulation results show that the performance of our LMAT algorithm is better than that of other similar algorithms. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Localization of Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Single Anchor Node

Localization of nodes in a sensor network is essential for the following two reasons: (i) to know the location of a node reporting the occurrence of an event, and (ii) to initiate a prompt action whenever necessary. Different localization techniques have been proposed in the literature. Most of these techniques use three location aware nodes for localization of an unknown node. Moreover, the localization techniques also differ from environment to environment. In this paper, we proposed a localization technique for grid environment. Sensor nodes are deployed in a grid pattern and localization is achieved using a single location aware or anchor node. We have identified three types of node in the proposed scheme: (i) Anchor node, (ii) Unknown node and (iii) Special node. First, the special nodes are localized with respect to the anchor node, then the unknown nodes are localized using trilateration mechanism. We have compared the proposed scheme with an existing localization algorithm for grid deployment called Multiduolateration. The parameters considered for localization are localization time and localization error. It is observed that localization time and error in the proposed scheme is lower than that of Multiduolateration.
