Abstract

Real-time and accurate location detection is a key link to ensure the safety of operating machines and workers in production and life. Compared with traditional static multi-anchor nodes, mobile anchor node assisted localization is greener and more energy-saving. In this paper, we first propose a static trajectory based on a light reflection model. Compared with other static models, this model has fewer times in the field, overcomes the collinearity problem and uniform beacon distribution, and ensures that all sensor nodes can receive good enough beacon quality for localization. Secondly, an RSSI-based improved weighted centroid localization algorithm and an RSSI-based improved weighted centroid collaborative localization algorithm are proposed. The two-strategy optimal location beacon set screening method is used to reduce location misjudgment. In order to improve the accuracy of centroid localization, a weighted centroid localization algorithm based on distance and hop number is designed. Moreover, a collaborative localization strategy is aiming at improving beacon density. Experimental results show that both the algorithm and static trajectory can guarantee better beacon coverage rate and localization success rate under different experimental conditions, and at the same time have higher accuracy.
