Recital analysis of localization algorithm in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Recent technological developments in Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) and communication system have made the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with emerging applications. Localization is the essential research problem in WSNs. In this paper, I have projected Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and improved Distance vector (DV) localization algorithms for accurate position estimation. The localization error is premeditated for a diverse range of anchor population, communication range and degree of irregularity (DOI). In the simulation, I compare these two localization algorithms and the result shows that the performance of improved DV-Hop algorithm has high position accuracy as compared to the RSSI algorithm.
