Abstract

SummaryLocalization is one of the important requirements in wireless sensor networks for tracking and analyzing the sensor nodes. It helps in identifying the geographical area where an event occurred. The event information without its position information has no meaning. In range‐free localization techniques, DV‐hop is one of the main algorithm which estimates the position of nodes using distance vector algorithm. In this paper, a multiobjective DV‐hop localization based Non‐Sorting Genetic Algorithm‐II (NSGA‐II) is proposed in WSNs. Here, we consider six different single‐objective functions to make three multiobjective functions as the combination of two each. Localization techniques based on proposed multiobjective functions has been evaluated on the basis of average localization error and localization error variance. Simulation results demonstrate that the localization scheme based on proposed multiobjective functions can achieve good accuracy and efficiency as compared to state‐of‐the‐art single‐ and multiobjective GA DV‐hop localization scheme.
