Range-Based Positioning with Self-Adapting Fireworks Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

الملخص EN

Positioning is the basic function of wireless sensor networks (WSN).

At present, range-based positioning is a common method to obtain the position of a node, but its accuracy has encountered a bottleneck.

The fundamental reason is that it ignores the ranging information between blind nodes.

Therefore, based on the design of the positioning optimization factor to adjust the weight of the ranging information between the blind nodes, the positioning model of minimizing the error is established.

On the basis of designing the blind node positioning matrix, the multiblind node localization problem is transformed into a single-objective optimization task, and the model also supports two-dimensional and three-dimensional positioning.

In order to solve the model efficiently, we added a self-adaptive function that matches the positioning requirements for the explosion search mechanism of the fireworks algorithm (FWA) and then proposed a self-adaptive FWA (SA-FWA).

The experimental results on the real ranging dataset show that the model has higher accuracy than other methods and achieves the current optimal positioning error, which is 1.88 m for received signal strength data and 1.02 m for time of arrival information, respectively.
