Abstract

Localization method is critical issues in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system. The existing node localization algorithms, especially range-based algorithms, did not consider the distances measured error and this may result in severe location errors that degrade the WSN performance. In this paper, a new algorithm called Support Vector Machine based Range-free localization (RFSVM) algorithm in WSN is proposed. This algorithm introduced a new matrix called transmit matrix which maps the relationship between the hops and distance. And use the SVM model to estimate the position of unknown nodes. This algorithm does not need any addition hardware, and the experiments shows that it can lead to the localization accuracy character good enough.
