Abstract: Centroid Localization (CL) algorithm is a representative range-free localization algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). To improve the localization accuracy of CL when anchors are unevenly distributed, Smallest Enclosing Polygon Localization (SEPL) algorithm was presented. In SEPL, the centroid of the smallest polygon which enclosed the neighbor anchors of the unknown node was regarded as the estimated location of the unknown node. The simulation results show that SEPL is robust when the topology of anchors is not uniform. The proposed algorithm outperforms CL by an average of 15% in localization accuracy.

摘要: 针对锚节点非均匀分布的无线传感器网络质心定位算法定位精度较差的缺陷,提出一种新的质心定位算法——基于最小包围多边形定位(SEPL)算法。该算法以包围未知节点邻居锚节点的最小多边形质心作为未知节点的估计位置。仿真结果表明,SEPL算法可以有效改善锚节点分布不均匀时质心定位算法误差较大的问题,平均定位精度比一般的质心定位算法提高15%。
