Abstract
DV-Hop is a typical range-free node localization algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN); the localization cost and the hardware requirements are not high and localization accuracy of nodes is still low under certain circumstances. Based on the main reasons of the error of DV-Hop algorithm, an improved algorithm is proposed which is based on the average hop distance correction. The algorithm uses error correction value \( \delta \) to modify the average hop distance, to reduce the deviation between the average hop distance and the true average hop distance. Simulation results show that, the improved algorithm has to more effectively reduce the average localization error of unknown nodes, and to improve the localization accuracy, and not require additional hardware.
