Abstract: DVHop node localization algorithm employs hop count multiplied by average per hop distance to estimate the distance between two nodes. However, hop count and average per hop distance are closely related to node density and communication radius. We present a regional division based DVHop localization improved algorithm, HRDVHop (Hop Regional division DVHop, HRDVHop) for the negative of traditional DVHop algorithm. We use RSSI algorithm for onehop node, hop count correction method and limitation mechanism for two or more hop nodes. MATLAB simulation results show that the improved algorithm can effectively reduce distance estimation error between two nodes and improve localization accuracy, as compared with other algorithms in the same network hardware and topology.

Key words: localization, number of hop in theory, node localization, hop region, wireless sensor networks
