  Abstract

An accurate positioning estimation in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is very important in which each sensor node is aware of neighbor conditions. The multi-hop positioning estimation technique is considered as one of the suitable techniques for the WSN with many low power devices. However geographical holes, where there is no sensor node, may severely decrease the positioning accuracy so that the positioning error can be beyond the tolerable range. Therefore in this paper, we analyze error factors of DV-hop and hole effect to obtain node's accurate position. The proposed methods include boundary node detection, distance level adjustment, and unreliable anchor elimination. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve higher positioning accuracy using the hole detection and enhanced distance calculation methods compared with the conventional DV-hop.
