A Kernel-Based Node Localization in Anisotropic Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless sensors localization is still the main problem concerning wireless sensor networks (WSN). Unfortunately, range-free node localization of WSN results in a fatal weakness–, low accuracy. In this paper, we introduce kernel regression to node localization of anisotropic WSN, which transfers the problem of localization to the problem of kernel regression. Radial basis kernel-based G-LSVR and polynomial-kernel-based P-LSVR proposed are compared with classical DV-Hop in both isotropic WSN and anisotropic WSN under different proportion beacons, network scales, and disturbances of communication range. G-LSVR presents the best localization accuracy and stability from the simulation results.
