The invention provides a
wireless sensor network node positioning method based on dual communication radiuses and He horse optimization, which improves the problems of error accumulation caused by rough hop count quantization and uneven anchor node distribution of the traditional DV-Hop
algorithm and easy
local optimum of coordinate calculation, and obtains refined hop count information by using a dual communication
radius mechanism, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the
wireless sensor network node based on the dual communication radiuses and the He horse optimization. The hop distance
estimation error is suppressed in combination with the
minimum mean square error criterion, global search optimization is carried out on unknown node coordinates through a Hemma optimization
algorithm, and the
adaptation relation between node positions and
network topology characteristics is extracted, so that higher-precision node positioning is realized. The method specifically comprises the following steps that: an anchor node firstly broadcasts beacons with a small
radius r and then broadcasts beacons with a standard communication
radius R to divide'near areas / far areas' so as to refine hop counts; reconstructing average hop distance calculation based on a
minimum mean square error criterion to obtain an optimal hop distance; constructing a
fitness function with the goal of minimizing the sum of the square differences of the estimated distance from the unknown node to the anchor node and the real distance, and converting positioning into an
optimization problem; the
population is initialized through a river horse optimization
algorithm, parameters and individual positions are iteratively updated through the three stages of position updating, defense and development until the preset number of iterations or fitness convergence is achieved, and the river horse position with the lowest fitness is output to serve as the
optimal estimation coordinate of the unknown node. According to the method, the node positioning precision and robustness of the
wireless sensor network are effectively improved, the method is suitable for
the Internet of Things sensor network deployed in a large-scale and low-cost mode, and reliable support is provided for
network topology construction, target tracking and the like.
