Abstract

Localization problem has gained a significant attention in the field of wireless sensor networks in order to support location-based services or information such as supporting geographic routing protocols, tracking events, targets, and providing security protection techniques. A number of variants of DV-Hop-based localization algorithms have been proposed and their performance is measured in terms of localization error. In all these algorithms, while determining the location of a non-anchor node, all the anchor nodes are taken into consideration. However, if only the anchors close to the node are considered, it will be possible to reduce the localization error significantly. This paper explores the effect of the close anchors in the performance of the DV-Hop-based localization algorithms and an improvement is proposed by considering only the closest anchors. The simulation results show that considering closest anchors for estimation of the location reduces localization error significantly as compared to considering all the anchors.
