Improved DV-Hop Localization Algorithm Based on RSSI Value and Hop Correction

On the basis of the analysis of the relation between network’s topologyand localization precisionan improved DV-Hop algorithm based on hop correction is put forward. Firstly, RSSI value is used to correct the distance between unknown node and reference nodes in the range of single hop; secondly, a certain amount of correction value is added to the original hop between unknown node and reference nodes to further reduce the distance error between them. Simulation result shows that improved algorithm improves the localization precision.
