Localization is an essential technology in the application of wireless sensor network. As a range-free localization algorithm, DV-Hop works well in dense and isotropic networks, but not much in irregular and sparse topologies, especially in the big curvature of shortest path case. In this paper, location information beyond the communication range was obtained by means of variable transmission power of enhanced nodes. Besides, three schemes was proposed to meet the need of different scenarios. Moreover, the simulation results validate that our method can improve position accuracy about 20% and ameliorate the performance of DV-Hop in irregular scenario.

For the DV-Hop algorithm of wireless sensor networks,there is an error arising problem that anchor nodes and location node hop distance is only an approximate calculation. A method based on the original Algorithm introducing RSSI ranging technique is proposed.Using RSSI ranging technology,we accord that if the anchor nodes is only a hop away from the location node,then decide whether using the DV-Hop algorithm to approach to the approximate distance between them. Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the error problems of calculating the hop distance between the anchor nodes and the location nodes, meanwhile improve the positioning accuracy of the node.

Localization technology is one of the key supporting technologies in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a collaborative multilateral localization algorithm is proposed to localization issues for wireless sensor networks. The algorithm applies anchor nodes within two hops to localize unknown nodes, and uses Nelder-Mead simplex optimization method to compute coordinates of the unknown nodes. If an unknown node can not be localized through two-hop anchor nodes, it is localized by anchor nodes and localized nodes within two hops through auxiliary iterative localization method. Simulation results show that the localization accuracy of this algorithm is very good, even in larger range errors.

This paper presents a localization algorithm, namely Circle Based Localization (CBL) for GPS-less wireless sensor networks. CBL works by finding the centroid of intersection of any two circles.

Location information acquisition is crucial for many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. While existing localization approaches mainly focus on 2D plane, the emerging 3D localization brings WSNs closer to reality with much enhanced accuracy. Two types of 3D localization algorithms are mainly used in localization application: the range-based localization and the range-free localization. The range-based localization algorithm has strict requirements on hardware and therefore is costly to implement in practice. The range-free localization algorithm reduces the hardware cost but at the expense of low localization accuracy. On addressing the shortage of both algorithms, in this paper, we develop a novel hybrid localization scheme, which utilizes the range-based attribute RSSI and the range-free attribute hopsize, to achieve accurate yet low-cost 3D localization. As anchor node deployment strategy plays an important role in improving the localization accuracy, an anchor node configuration scheme is also developed in this work by utilizing the MIS (maximal independent set) of a network. With proper anchor node configuration and propagation model selection, using simulations, we show that our proposed algorithm improves the localization accuracy by 38.9% compared with 3D DV-HOP and 52.7% compared with 3D centroid.

Location information is the most important for wireless sensor network (WSN). Due to the limitation of energy, cost and influence of environment, range-free localization schemes are more suitable for WSN despite of their low localization accuracy. Two methods, which are improved grids SCAN and multiple locating and averaging scheme, are presented to improve localization accuracy of range-free localization schemes and performed through performance evaluation based on ROCRSSI (Ring Overlapping based on Comparison of Received Signal Strength Indicator). By simulation it is concluded that ROCRSSI applying both methods can get better localization performances.

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.
