Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) help monitoring physical environments with improved accuracy. Localization has been a major challenge in such networks because without finding the location of the sensor that is informing sensed data, the informed data will not be useful. Localization algorithm is categorized as: anchor based approach and anchor free approach in which DV-Hop algorithm is anchor based approach. In this paper, we modify the DV-Hop algorithm; deprivation of DV-Hop algorithm is that this algorithm works badly in sparse topology, so we have done some improvements shown in this paper and compare the simulation results of both algorithms (DV-Hop and Modified DV-Hop algorithm). The result shows that accuracy of modified DV-Hop algorithm is better than DV-Hop algorithm and modified DV-Hop algorithm also works in sparse networks.
