Placement and Selection Algorithm of Reference Nodes in WSN Localization

Currently, few studies of wireless sensor network node localization algorithm were focused on the reference nodes, but how to choose and place reference nodes has a great influence on the positioning accuracy. In order to quantitatively study this issue, we proved a theorem, which describes the relationship between the placement of reference nodes and whether the node can be located, then the reference nodes placement method was designed. Finally, a reference nodes selection algorithm was proposed based on the condition number of linear equations, so as to improve the accuracy of range-based localization algorithm.
