Using the DV-Hop technique to increase the localization ratio in static path planning models in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Localization is essential to consider in relation to wireless sensor networks issues. Establishing mobility in the localization process creates improvements in various regards. Static path planning is one of a number of mobility models that are used in localization in wireless sensor networks. Most static path planning models depend on trilateration or triangulation concepts in direct connection fashion between unknown nodes and anchors for successful node localization; however, such methods are insufficient in cases of mobility discontinuity. Considering scenarios where the mobile anchor has limited movement, in this paper we propose using the DV-Hop technique to increase the localization ratio in static path planning models in wireless sensor networks.
