Abstract
Node localization is one of key technologies in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In practice, the occlusion of obstacles often leads to large non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error. Therefore, the misidentification of LOS (line-of-sight)/NLOS conditions can seriously reduce the accuracy of localization algorithms in WSN. In this paper, we propose a novel localization algorithm based on hypothesis testing method, which combines the NLOS condition identification algorithm and the extended Kalman filter method to mitigate the NLOS error. Moreover, we introduce the false alarm rate fa to fuse the estimated values in the LOS/NLOS condition to obtain more accurate results. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the influence of NLOS error and improve the localization accuracy.
