Abstract

Abstract In wireless communication technology, wireless sensor networks usually need to collect and process information in very harsh environment. Therefore, accurate positioning of sensors becomes the key to wireless communication technology. In this study, Davidon–Fletcher–Powell (DFP) algorithm was combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) to reduce the influence of distance estimation error on positioning accuracy by using the characteristics of PSO iterative optimization. From the experimental results, among the average precision (AP) values of DFP, PSO, and PSO-DFP algorithms, the AP value of PSO-DFP was 0.9972. In the analysis of node positioning error, the maximum node positioning error of PSO-DFP was only about 21 mm. The results showed that the PSO-DFP algorithm had better performance, and the average positioning error of the algorithm was inversely proportional to the proportion of anchor nodes, node communication radius, and node density. In conclusion, the wireless sensor node location algorithm combined with PSO-DFP has a better location effect and higher stability than the traditional location algorithm.
