Abstract

Node localization is a fundamental and important technology in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a localization algorithm in wireless sensor networks based on PSO is proposed. Unlike most of the existing location algorithm, the proposed algorithm figures out the rectangular estimation range of unknown node by bounding box algorithm and takes one value as the estimated coordinates of this node, then it has been optimized by PSO, so got the more precise location of unknown nodes. Simulation results show that this optimized algorithm outperforms traditional bounding box on the positioning accuracy and localization error.
