Wireless sensor network node localization research based on improved wolves algorithm

DV-Hop is a typical node localization algorithm without ranging of wireless sensor network. Because of the shortcoming that this algorithm's accuracy for node positioning is not high, a sensor node localization algorithm based on improved wolves algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is based on the classic DV-Hop algorithm, converts the wireless sensor node localization problem into a multi-constrained optimization problem, and uses improved wolves algorithm to solve this problem, then obtains the optimal solution of unknown node coordinates. Matlab simulation show that, this algorithm can significantly improve the positioning accuracy of the node than other wireless sensor network node localization algorithm.
