Abstract

The node localization technology is a foundation for practical application in wireless sensor networks. According to DV-HOP positioning algorithm in wireless sensor network low precision, the defect of inaccurate positioning, this paper presents an optimization algorithm of improved DV-HOP based on genetic algorithm. The algorithm is to redefine the scope of initial population, the reference weight, redesigned the fitness function and selection of anchor nodes. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional DV - HOP algorithm, the algorithm without any increase in the node hardware overhead on the basis of significantly higher positioning accuracy.
