Localization Of Nodes In Wireless Sensor Networks By MDVHop Algorithm

A Wireless sensor network (WSN) [۱] is composed of plenty of sensor nodes. These nodes have the ability of sensing, computation, and wireless communication. Due to its powerful function and lowenergy cost, the WSN has been widely used. In various domains, such as national defense andmilitary affair, environment inspection, traffic management, long distance control of dangerous region, and so on, WSN has shown its significanceand capability in application. In WSN, the position information is crucial. When an abnormal event occurs, the sensor node detecting the event needs the position information to locate theabnormal event and report to the base station. Therefore, the position information is usually embedded in the report message generated by the sensor node. Without position information, WSN cannot work properly. In practice, sensor nodes are often deployed by random bestrewing (airplane
