A Novel Node Localization Algorithm Based on Sparrow Search for WSNs

In the application of wireless sensor networks, It is very important to determine the position of nodes themselves. In recent years, the research of node localization in wireless sensor networks based on intelligent optimization algorithm has attracted much attention. Sparrow search algorithm is a new intelligent optimization algorithm. In this paper, it is applied to the localization of wireless sensor network for the first time, and proposed a novel WSNs localization algorithm. The simulation results show that, compared with similar algorithms, the algorithm proposed in this paper not only achieves higher localization accuracy, but also shows better anti ranging error performance, and requires fewer anchor nodes for the same localization accuracy.
