The distance vector-hop wireless sensor node location method is one of typical range-free location methods. In distance vector-hop location method, if a wireless node A can directly communicate with wireless sensor network nodes B and C at its communication range, the hop count from wireless sensor nodes A to B is considered to be the same as that form wireless sensor nodes A to C. However, the real distance between wireless sensor nodes A and B may be dissimilar to that between wireless sensor nodes A and C. Therefore, there may be a discrepancy between the real distance and the estimated hop count distance, and this will affect wireless sensor node location error of distance vector-hop method. To overcome this problem, it proposes a wireless sensor network node location method by modifying the method of distance estimation in the distance vector-hop method. Firstly, we set three different communication powers for each node. Different hop counts correspond to different communication powers; and so this makes the corresponding relationship between the real distance and hop count more accurate, and also reduces the distance error between the real and estimated distance in wireless sensor network. Secondly, distance difference between the estimated distance between wireless sensor network anchor nodes and their corresponding real distance is computed. The average value of distance errors that is computed in the second step is used to modify the estimated distance from the wireless sensor network anchor node to the unknown sensor node. The improved node location method has smaller node location error than the distance vector-hop algorithm and other improved location methods, which is proved by simulations.

Obtaining accurate location information is important in practical applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The distance vector hop (DV-Hop) is a frequently-used range-free localization algorithm in WSNs, but it has low localization accuracy. Moreover, despite various improvements to DV-Hop-based localization algorithms, maintaining a balance between high localization accuracy and good stability and convergence is still a challenge. To overcome these shortcomings, we proposed an improved DV-Hop localization algorithm based on the bat algorithm (IBDV-Hop) for WSNs. The IBDV-Hop algorithm incorporates optimization methods that enhance the accuracy of the average hop distance and fitness function. We also introduce a nonlinear dynamic inertial weight strategy to extend the global search scope and increase the local search accuracy. Moreover, we develop an updated solutions strategy that avoids premature convergence by the IBDV-Hop algorithm. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the IBDV-Hop algorithm achieves higher localization accuracy than the original DV-Hop algorithm and other improved algorithms. The IBDV-Hop algorithm also exhibits good stability, search capability and convergence, and it requires little additional time complexity and energy consumption.

Distance Vector-Hop (DV-Hop) algorithm is widely used in node localization. It often suffers the wormhole attack. The current researches focus on Double-Wormhole-Node-Link (DWNL) and have limited attention to Multi-Wormhole-Node-Link (MWNL). In this paper, we propose a security DV-Hop algorithm (AMLDV-Hop) to resist MWNL. Firstly, the algorithm establishes the Neighbor List (NL) in initialization phase. It uses the NL to find the suspect beacon nodes and then find the actually attacked beacon nodes by calculating the distances to other beacon nodes. The attacked beacon nodes generate and broadcast the conflict sets to distinguish the different wormhole areas. The unknown nodes take the marked beacon nodes as references and mark themselves with different numbers in the first-round marking. If the unknown nodes fail to mark themselves, they will take the marked unknown nodes as references to mark themselves in the second-round marking. The unknown nodes that still fail to be marked are semi-isolated. The results indicate that the localization error of proposed AMLDV-Hop algorithm has 112.3%, 10.2%, 41.7%, 6.9% reduction compared to the attacked DV-Hop algorithm, the Label-based DV-Hop (LBDV-Hop), the Secure Neighbor Discovery Based DV-Hop (NDDV-Hop), and the Against Wormhole DV-Hop (AWDV-Hop) algorithm.

The distance vector-hop (DV-Hop) is one of the emblematic algorithms that use node connectivity for locating, which often accompanies by a large positioning error. To reduce positioning error, the bio-inspired algorithm and weight optimization model are introduced to address positioning. Most scholars argue that the weight value decreases as the hop counts increases. However, this point of view ignores the intrinsic relationship between the error and weight. To address this issue, this paper constructs the relationship model between error and hop counts based on actual communication characteristics of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. Additionally, we prove that the error converges to 1/6CR when the hop count increase and tendency to infinity. Finally, this paper presents a modified error-oriented weight positioning model, and implements it with genetic algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate excellent robustness and error removal.

The information of localization is a fundamental requirement in wireless sensor network (WSN). The method of distance vector-hop (DV-Hop), a range-free localization algorithm, can locate the ordinary nodes by utilizing the connectivity and multi-hop transmission. However, the error of the estimated distance between the beacon nodes and ordinary nodes is too large. In order to enhance the positioning precision of DV-Hop, fast triangle flip bat algorithm, which is based on curve strategy and rank transformation (FTBA-TCR) is proposed. The rank is introduced to directly select individuals in the population of each generation, which arranges all individuals according to their merits and a threshold is set to get the better solution. To test the algorithm performance, the CEC2013 test suite is used to check out the algorithm's performance. Meanwhile, there are four other algorithms are compared with the proposed algorithm. The results show that our algorithm is greater than other algorithms. And this algorithm is used to enhance the performance of DV-Hop algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm receives the lower average localization error and the best performance by comparing with the other algorithms.

This paper suggests that we make the new multi-hop routing algorithm using RSS in order to implement enhanced multi-hop routing algorithm. This paper should demonstrate that the routing algorithm using suggested RSS is superior to routing algorithm based on established BSDV(Destination Sequenced Distance Vector).

In this paper, we propose a wireless location-based routing algorithm which uses the location information of its neighbor nodes and a destination node. At first, the proposed routing algorithm forwards a packet to the X direction by selecting a closest node to its destination as a next hop in terms of the X coordinate until the packet reaches closely to the packet's destination. Then the packet is forwarded to the Y direction by selecting a closest node to its destination in terms of the Y coordinate. We use a back off mechanism in case that a next hop cannot be found using the proposed routing algorithm, which resolves loops while forwarding. The experimental results show that the proposed routing algorithm performs well like the existing routing algorithms Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector and Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing. It is expected to use the proposed routing algorithm in the digital battlefield of military environments and survival games of commercial environments.

주변 상황을 인지하여 사용자가 이를 적절히 사용할 수 있도록 하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 각 센서 노드의 정확한 위치 추정은 매우 중요하다. 멀티홉 기반 위치 추정기법은 다수의 저전력 노드로 구성된 센서네트워크에 적합한 방법 중의 하나로 고려되고 있다. 하지만 일부 지역에서 노드들이 위치하지 않는 홀이 형성되는 경우에는 위치추정 오차가 허용한계 이상으로 크게 증가할 수 있다. 네트워크는 이러한 홀을 감지하고 그 영향을 최소화함으로써 오차를 가급적 억제할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비거리기반 알고리즘의 하나인 DV(Distance Vector)-hop이 갖고 있는 홀에서의 큰 위치 추정오류를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 위치 추정기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 이웃노드와의 관계를 통해 홀을 탐지하는 방법, 전파반경을 가상으로 홉을 나누어 예상위치의 정확도를 높이는 방법, 그리고 노드가 예상위치를 추정할 때 신뢰도가 적은 기준노드(anchor)를 배제하는 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 방법이 흘 검출을 통해 정밀한 위치 추정이 기존의 DV-hop에 비해 향상된 성능을 나타냄을 보인다.

In this paper, we have proposed an ad-hoc routing protocol named "RRMR (Reliable and Resilient Multipath Routing)" that is expanded from AODV to acquire multiple path at one time. This protocol needs less overhead to configure data routing paths and the paths are maintained to transmit data stably. To get these advantages, RRMR protocol is constructed by expanding from multipath acquiring and maintaining method based on distance vector method and hop-by-hop routing of AODV.

기존에 연구된 위치인식 기법은 자신의 위치를 알고 있는 앵커노드만을 참조하여 일반노드의 위치를 계산한다. 그 외 노드들 간 관계를 고려하지 않기 때문에 참조하는 앵커노드의 수가 부족하거나 앵커노드로부터의 거리정보가 부정확한 경우에는 실제위치와 예측위치 간 위치오차 뿐만 아니라 노드 간 상대적인 위치오차가 크다. 본 논문에서는 일반노드가 노드 간 거리정보 없이 앵커노드와 한 홉 거리의 이웃노드의 정보만을 참조하여 모든 이웃 노드와의 거리가 균등하도록 위치를 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 노드가 모든 이웃노드와 균등한 거리에 위치함으로써 노드 간 상대적 위치오차와 네트워크 전체의 평균적인 위치오차를 감소시킨다. 다양한 환경에서의 모의실험을 통해서 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하였다.
