Genetic Algorithm for Nodes Location in Wireless Sensor Network to Monitor Abrupt Geological Hazards

WSN have showed favorable characteristic to monitor abrupt geological hazards, but the difficulty user had to face is to locate nodes of WSN. Given some anchor nodes whose position were known by GPS, the paper presented a new genetic algorithm to locate unknown nodes. Based on the communication restrict between the unknown node and the anchor nodes, the parameter of genetic algorithm is efficient and simulation results show that, this algorithm is robust because the algorithm depends on low propotion of anchor nodes and can rapidly reduce the fee for GPS and energy consuming of WSN nodes.
