A Novel Three-Dimensional Localization Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Location is crucial to wireless sensor network monitoring. Therefore, node localization becomes a key technology. After analyzing DV-Hop propagation algorithm and ABC algorithm, this paper proposes a novel three-dimensional localization approach, which is called DHA (DV-hop and ABC) localization algorithm. It introduces the idea of DHA algorithm in detail, and finally implements the algorithm on WSN test bed. By analyzing the experimental results, the accuracy is accepted with the new localization approach.
