Abstract:

In order to better solve the contradiction between precision of localization and the number of anchor nodes in wireless sensor network,a mobile anchor node localization technology based on connectivity was proposed.First,the coverage characteristic of the network nodes was analyzed,and a critical value was found between the mobile step and the anchor node communication radius,mobile anchor nodes' coverage characteristic would change when near this critical value.Second,a mobile anchor node followed a planning path to form a positioning area seamless coverage was used.Finally,when there was no need for high-precision technology,node position would been estimated according with the connectivity of the network and the receiving information of the node.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can realize coarse-grained localization,and paths perform complete localization.

Key words: wireless sensor network, localization, mobile anchor node, connectivity
