An improved DV-Hop positioning algorithm for wireless sensor network

摘要

In the view of the DV-Hop positioning algorithm which relies on the distance vector and beacon nodes, several aspects are improved: the average hop distance and hop count are corrected; a method to detect the abnormal distribution of beacon nodes is used to avoid the influence of the abnormal distribution on the positioning performance. The proposed algorithm is simple and effective. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional DV-Hop algorithm, the performance of the proposed algorithm is greatly improved. The performance is even even superior to that of the algorithm mentioned in literature [10]
