CADV-Hop localization method for wireless sensor network nodes based on classified average hop distance
Aiming at the problem that the calculation of the average hop distance in the prototype DV-Hop locali-zation algorithm produces large localization errors,this paper proposes a CADV-Hop algorithm for classifying the aver-age hop distance.First,the inconsistent distribution of single-hop distance for different hop-count paths in wireless sensing networks is revealed,and the reasons and laws for the appearance of such differences are analyzed.Secondly,the classification average hop distance is calculated by classifying the inter-beacon paths according to the hop count and then calculating the classification average hop distance for each type of paths.Finally,on the basis of the more ac-curate distance estimation between the unknown node and the nearest beacon node provided by the classification aver-age hop distance,the node coordinates are finally solved by combining the weighted least squares method.Simulation experiments show that the CADV-Hop algorithm effectively reduces the localization error without increasing the com-plexity of the algorithm as well as additional hardware,and with the increase of the number of beacon nodes,the CADV-Hop algorithm has higher localization accuracy than the prototype DV-Hop algorithm and the two improved DV-Hop algorithms.
