Research on DV-Hop location algorithm based on range correction and improved gray wolf optimizer by Xiaoqiang ZHAO, Shuai WU, Chuanyi GAO, Ning LI, Bodong LI, Xiaoyong YANG

“…Node location is an important problem in wireless sensor network.Although the location algorithm based on distance measurement has small positioning error, it has many limitations when applied to outdoor environments.Therefore, based on the original distance vector-hop (DV-Hop) algorithm, received signal strength indication (RSSI) technology and the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to modify the algorithm’s ranging process were introduced, and the improved gray wolf optimizer was used to optimize the process of determining the coordinates of unknown nodes.Simulation results show that, compared with the original DV-Hop algorithm and IPDV-Hop algorithm, the average location error rate of the IGDV-Hop algorithm under the initial parameters was reduced by 28% and 17% respectively, and the location effect was significantly improved.…”

Optimal energy efficiency routing strategy based on community in mobile social network by Ying PENG, Nao WANG, Gao-cai WANG

“…An optimal energy efficiency routing strategy based on community was proposed,which minimized the network energy consumption under the given delay constraint.Firstly the expected energy consumption and delay of message delivery in the connected network were obtained through Markov chain.Then the comprehensive cost function for delivering message from source node to destination node was designed,which was combined with energy consumption and delay.Thus,the optimization function to comprehensive cost of relay node delivering message was obtained,and further the reward function of relay node was gotten.Finally the optimal expected reward of optimal relay node was achieved using the optimal stopping theory,so as to realize the optimal energy efficiency routing strategy.In simulations,the average energy consumption,the average delay and the average delivery ratio of routing optimization strategy were compared with those of other routing strategies in related literatures.The results show that the strategy proposed has smaller average energy consumption,shorter average delay and higher average delivery ratio,gaining better energy consumption optimization effect.…”
