摘要：Localization systems have been identified as key issues in the development and operation of wireless sensor networks. The global positioning system (GPS) solves the problem about localization, but it is not suitable for wireless sensor networks. Due to range-free localization approaches requiring low equipped hardware and easy to implement, it is widely used in WSNs localization system. When the node communication radius increases, the accuracy of area-based localization is reduced. It is important to improve the localization accuracy in this situation. In this paper, to improve the accuracy of the node localization, we propose a new range-free localization using Voronoi diagrams based approximate point-in-triangulation test (APIT) algorithm. We compare our algorithm with APIT. Simulation results show that the VPIT improved the precision of localization by narrowing the node's geometry region.
