Xiaohui Wang and Shengpu Li

Abstract

This paper first corrects the distance of the average hop in DV-Hop algorithm, then introduces cuckoo searching algorithm to optimize the sensor node positioning errors, and finally applies simulation experiment to test the performance. The simulation experiment illustrates the proposed algorithm needs extra hardware support in order to increase the Sensor positioning precisions compared to DV-Hop algorithm. Even with fewer anchor nodes, the proposed algorithm can obtain ideal positioning results with high practical value.
