In the traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) localization algorithm based on the Internet of Things (IoT), the distance vector hop (DV-Hop) localization algorithm has the disadvantages of large deviation and low accuracy in three-dimensional (3D) space. Based on the 3DDV-Hop algorithm and combined with the idea of A* algorithm, this paper proposes a wireless sensor network node location algorithm (MA*-3DDV-Hop) that integrates the improved A* algorithm and the 3DDV-Hop algorithm. In MA*-3DDV-Hop, firstly, the hop-count value of nodes is optimized and the error of average distance per hop is corrected. Then, the multi-objective optimization non dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is adopted to optimize the coordinates locally. After selection, crossover, mutation, the Pareto optimal solution is obtained, which overcomes the problems of premature convergence and poor convergence of existing algorithms. Moreover, it reduces the error of coordinate calculation and raises the localization accuracy of wireless sensor network nodes. For three different multi-peak random scenes, simulation results show that MA*-3DDV-Hop algorithm has better robustness and higher localization accuracy than the 3DDV-Hop, PSO-3DDV-Hop, GA-3DDV-Hop, and N2-3DDV-Hop.

Node positioning technology in wireless sensor network plays an important role in the whole network, and a lot of scholars engage in this field. According to the background that wireless sensor network is applied in Three-Dimensional space, an improved algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm makes the average distance of each hop more rational through choosing the external anchor nodes. After the achievement of the unknown nodes positioning, initial positioning location would be corrected in order to get a higher positioning accuracy. Simulation results show that the accuracy of the improved algorithm is 13% higher than the traditional DV-Hop algorithm.

In a wireless sensor network (WSN), node localization is a key requirement for many applications. The concept of mobile anchor-based localization is not a new concept; however, the localization of mobile anchor nodes gains much attention with the advancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) and electronic industry. In this paper, we present a range-free localization algorithm for sensors in a three-dimensional (3D) wireless sensor networks based on flying anchors. The nature of the algorithm is also suitable for vehicle localization as we are using the setup much similar to vehicle-to-infrastructure- (V2I-) based positioning algorithm. A multilayer C-shaped trajectory is chosen for the random walk of mobile anchor nodes equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and broadcasts its location information over the sensing space. The mobile anchor nodes keep transmitting the beacon along with their position information to unknown nodes and select three further anchor nodes to form a triangle. The distance is then computed by the link quality induction against each anchor node that uses the centroid-based formula to compute the localization error. The simulation shows that the average localization error of our proposed system is 1.4 m with a standard deviation of 1.21 m. The geometrical computation of localization eliminated the use of extra hardware that avoids any direct communication between the sensors and is applicable for all types of network topologies.

Accurate nodes’ localization is a key problem in wireless sensor network (WSN for short). This paper discusses and analyzes the effects of Voronoi diagram in 3D location space. Then it proposes Sequence Localization Correction algorithm based on 3D Voronoi diagram (SLC3V), which introduces 3D Voronoi diagram to divide the 3D location space and constructs the rank sequence tables of virtual beacon nodes. SLC3V uses RSSI method between beacon nodes as a reference to correct the measured distance and fixes the location sequence of unknown nodes. Next, it selects optimal parameterNand realizes the weighted location estimate withNvalid virtual beacon nodes by normalization process of rank correlation coefficients. Compared with other sequence location algorithms, simulation experiments show that it can improve the localization accuracy for nodes in complex 3D space with less measurements and computational costs.

Location information acquisition is crucial for many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. While existing localization approaches mainly focus on 2D plane, the emerging 3D localization brings WSNs closer to reality with much enhanced accuracy. Two types of 3D localization algorithms are mainly used in localization application: the range-based localization and the range-free localization. The range-based localization algorithm has strict requirements on hardware and therefore is costly to implement in practice. The range-free localization algorithm reduces the hardware cost but at the expense of low localization accuracy. On addressing the shortage of both algorithms, in this paper, we develop a novel hybrid localization scheme, which utilizes the range-based attribute RSSI and the range-free attribute hopsize, to achieve accurate yet low-cost 3D localization. As anchor node deployment strategy plays an important role in improving the localization accuracy, an anchor node configuration scheme is also developed in this work by utilizing the MIS (maximal independent set) of a network. With proper anchor node configuration and propagation model selection, using simulations, we show that our proposed algorithm improves the localization accuracy by 38.9% compared with 3D DV-HOP and 52.7% compared with 3D centroid.

In the wireless sensor network, there is a consistent one-to-one match between the information collected by the node and the location of the node. Therefore, it attempts to determine the location of unknown nodes for wireless sensor networks. At present, there are many kinds of node localization methods. Because of the distance error, hardware level, application environment and application costs and other factors, the positioning accuracy of various node positioning methods is not in complete accord. The objective function is established and algorithm simulation experiments are carried out to make a mobile ronot node localization.  The experimnettal results showed that  the proposed algorithm can achieve higher localization precision in fewer nodes. In addition, the localization algorithm was compared with the classical localization algorithm. In conclusion, it is verified that the localization algorithm proposed in this paper has higher localization accuracy than the traditional classical localization algorithm when the number of nodes is larger than a certain number

The localization accuracy of traditional APIT localization algorithm for wireless sensor network depends on the Approximate Perfect Point-In-Triangulation Test (APIT), and the localization error can be promoted in sparse network. We design one improved localization algorithm (RTD-APIT) based on APIT by using the RSSI and the triangles deformation. RTD-APIT uses the RSSI to improve the APIT for achieving the preliminary location of unknown node, and expand or deform the triangles for solving the Point-In-Triangulation (PIT) problem well and enhancing the localization. Simulation shows RTD-APIT can reduce the localization error effectively, and it also promote the localization coverage.

A challenging problem that arises in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is localization. It is essential for applications that need information about target positions, are inside an indoor environment. The Localization scheme presented in this experiment consists of four anchor nodes that change their position coordinates and one target node that is used to control the distance. The Localization algorithm designed in this paper makes use of the combination of two algorithms; the Received Strength Signal Indication (RSSI) and Weight Centroid Localization Algorithm (WCLA), called the RSSI-WCLA algorithm. The laboratory results show that the fusion between the RSSI-WCLA algorithm is outstanding than RSSI and WCLA algorithms itself in terms of localization accuracy. However, our proposed algorithm shows that the maximum error distance is less than 0.096m.
