The Neighbors Selection Algorithm in WSN for Routing and Localization

摘要

There are some problems on the neighbor nodes selection method in Wireless Sensor Networks. The Neighbors Selection Algorithm, based on the communication energy consumption between pairs of nodes, is proposed and applied to enhance the DV routing protocol and DV-Hop localization algorithm. According to the simulation results, in the networks where the node radio range is larger than the average distance between adjacent nodes, the modified routing method could cut down the routing energy consumption, and the modified localization algorithm could achieve better localization accuracy.
