Background: In the applications of wireless sensor network technology, three-dimensional node location technology is crucial. The process of node localization has some disadvantages, such as the uneven distribution of anchor nodes and the high cost of the network. Therefore, the mobile anchor nodes are introduced to effectively solve accurate positioning. Objective: Considering the estimated distance error, the received signal strength indication technology is used to optimize the measurement of the distance. At the same time, dynamic stiffness planning is introduced to increase virtual anchor nodes. Moreover, the bird swarm algorithm is also used to solve the optimal location problem of nodes. Method: Firstly, the dynamic path is introduced to increase the number of virtual anchor nodes. At the same time, the improved RSSI distance measurement technology is introduced to the node localization. Then, an intelligent three-dimensional node localization algorithm based on dynamic path planning is proposed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with similar algorithms through simulation experiments. Results: Simulation results show that the node coordinates obtained by the proposed algorithm are more accurate, and the node positioning accuracy is improved. The execution time and network coverage of the algorithm are better than similar algorithms. Conclusion: The proposed algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of node positioning. However, the traffic of the algorithm is increased. A little increase in traffic in exchange for positioning accuracy is worthy of recognition. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is robust and can be implemented and promoted in the future.

The Distance Vector-Hop (DV-Hop) algorithm is the most well-known range-free localization algorithm based on the distance vector routing protocol in wireless sensor networks; however, it is widely known that its localization accuracy is limited. In this paper, DEIDV-Hop is proposed, an enhanced wireless sensor node localization algorithm based on the differential evolution (DE) and improved DV-Hop algorithms, which improves the problem of potential error about average distance per hop. Introduced into the random individuals of mutation operation that increase the diversity of the population, random mutation is infused to enhance the search stagnation and premature convergence of the DE algorithm. On the basis of the generated individual, the social learning part of the Particle Swarm (PSO) algorithm is embedded into the crossover operation that accelerates the convergence speed as well as improves the optimization result of the algorithm. The improved DE algorithm is applied to obtain the global optimal solution corresponding to the estimated location of the unknown node. Among the four different network environments, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has smaller localization errors and more excellent stability than previous ones. Still, it is promising for application scenarios with higher localization accuracy and stability requirements.
