Abstract

The positions of anchor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) significantly impacts positioning accuracy. This paper derives the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) under rigid roto-translation transformations and demonstrates that a larger equilateral triangle formed by anchor nodes minimizes positioning errors. Based on this theoretical insight, a graph theory and geometry-based anchor node selection (ANS) method is proposed. The method is further extended to solve the anchor node placement (ANP) problem, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to determine optimal placement positions. Simulation results confirm that the proposed ANS and ANP methods outperform existing approaches in positioning accuracy.
