Abstract:

Due to the low performance of multi-hop localization in the irregular networks, a novel accuracy, and efficiency multi-hop localization algorithm was proposed. First, an efficient distance estimation method was employed to estimate the distance between anchors and non-anchors. Second, an optimal weighting matrix was derived by the distance estimation error and uses the optimal weighting matrix and a hyperbolic estimation method to eliminate the influence of multi-hop cumulative error on positioning accuracy and stability. Last, the outlier estimated estimation was found by analyzing the geometric relationship between nodes and correct with Bounding-Box algorithm. Performance and experimental analysis all show that the proposed algorithm has high localization accuracy and low operating cost.

Key words: range-free, multi-hop localization, the optimal weighting matrix, hyperbolic estimation, Bounding-Box algorithm
