Research on Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm for DV-Hop Localization

Abstract

Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) has attracted much attention and been widely applied in a variety of scientific and engineering applications since its inception. This paper proposes a DV -Hop localization algorithm based on bacterial foraging optimization by analysing the DV -Hop localization algorithm which lack of positioning in the wireless sensor network location. To improve the positioning accuracy of DV -Hop algorithm the algorithm use bacterial foraging algorithm to locate the position of the third step in the DV-Hop unknown node. Experimental results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has better localization effect than the basic DV _Hop algorithm, and it effectively improves the location accuracy, which proves the validity of our proposed method.
