Abstract: Aiming at the problem of low localization accuracy of classical DV-Hop algorithm, caused by calculation of hop count and hop distance, number of hops-corrected and hop distance optimization-based DV-Hop localization (NHDL) algorithm is proposed in this paper. In NHDL algorithm, the received signal strength values among nodes are used to correct the number of hops. Then, the average distance of each hop of anchor nodes is modified by weighting factor. And the anchor nodes are selected through the concept of collinearity to reduce the localization error. The min-max method is adopted to calculate the position of node. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional DV-Hop algorithm, the average error of localization is reduced.
