Abstract:
This paper proposes an improved DV-hop localization algorithm named an Equal Sub-Area-Based DV-Hop (ESAB-DV-Hop) which achieves less error than an original algorithm. The proposed algorithm derived from the DV-hop method, by dividing the network area to sub-areas and setting the nodes with unknown locations to calculate their positions from anchor nodes in the same sub-area. Simulation results show that the localization accuracy of the improved DV-hop method is better than the original algorithm by 17% and by 15% compared to a recent algorithm that solves the same problem when the total number of the nodes equals 100, the communication range is 20 m and the anchors ratio is 20%.
