Abstract

Location information of nodes is one of the basis for many applications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, based on the implementation of the original DV-Hop localization algorithm and two variations: DV-Hop with Correction (CDV-Hop) and Improved DV-Hop (IDV-Hop), we investigate the impact of Irregular Radio and Faulty Nodes on the performance of localization. This study designs a new system model by considering Irregular Radio and random Faulty Nodes. With this new model, extensive experiments are used to conduct the investigation. From the simulation results, it is observed that both Irregular Radio and Faulty Nodes adversely affect the localization accuracy. By this investigation, the obtained conclusion can be used to direct localization algorithm design under a more realistic scenario and providing better parameter configuration for a given WSN.
