无线传感器网络DV-HOP算法定位精度优化研究

无线传感器网络DV-HOP算法定位精度优化研究摘要：无线传感器网络具有低成本、易部署等优点，在许多领域得到广泛应用。其中，无线传感器网络中节点的定位是关键问题之一，传统的GPS定位无法满足无线传感器网络中节点的要求。本文提出一种基于DV-HOP算法的节点定位优化方法，通过优化DV-HOP算法中的跳数选择策略、距离估计算法以及误差校正算法，提高了其节点定位精度。具体来说，我们改进了DV-HOP算法在节点跳数选择方面的缺陷，提出了一种新的跳数衡量方式；针对DV-HOP算法中的距离估计算法，我们优化了节点定位过程中距离估计的方法，使用了多元距离估计方法；最后，我们将误差校正算法引入到DV-HOP算法中，进一步提高节点定位的精度。实验结果表明，本文提出的基于DV-HOP算法的节点定位优化方法能够明显提高定位精度，适用于多种环境和网络拓扑结构。
