Research on mobile strategy of anchor node based on weighted virtual force model

The existing mobility strategy of the anchor node in wireless sensor network (WSN) has the shortcomings of too long moving path and low positioning accuracy when the anchor node traverses the network voids area.A new mobility strategy of WSN anchor node was proposed based on an improved virtual forces model.The number of neighbor nodes and the distance between the neighbor nodes to the anchor nodes were introduced as their own dense weight attributes.The unknown nodes intensity was used as weights to improve the traditional virtual force model.Meantime the distance-measuring error ε was taken into account.The optimal distribution,direction selection,shift step length and fallback strategy of anchor node could be analyzed by the trilateration.Using the number of virtual beacon received by the unknown node and the distance between the unknown node to the anchor node calculate the virtual force.Then according to the virtual force,the direction was chosen and the anchor nodes were moved.Simulation experiments show that the strategy can make the anchor nodes move according to the specific circumstances of unknown node distribution.It has a high positioning accuracy and strong adaptability.It can successfully shorten the path of the anchor node movement and reduce the number of virtual beacon.Moreover it can effectively avoid the anchor node to enter the network voids area and reduce the number of collinear virtual anchor nodes.

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 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.     

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.
