Abstract :
A new mixed location algorithm for WSN is proposed in this paper. The distance is calculated based on DV-Hop algorithm, and the initial position is estimated by Centroid algorithm, then the result is optimized by Mass-spring optimization. MATLAB simulation result shows that, compared with DV-Hop, the error of the mixed algorithm is reduced about 15%. It does not need additional hardware, and the positioning performance is improved effectively.
