Abstract

The problem of node localization in wireless sensor networks aims to assign th e geographical coordinates to each device with unknown position, in the deployment area. In this paper the meta heuristic optimization algorithm known as bat algorithm is described in order to evaluate the precision of node localization problem in wireless sensor networks. Meanwhile the existing bat algorithm has also been modified by using the bacterial foraging strategies of bacterial foraging optimization algorithm. Compared with the existing bat algorithm, the proposed modified bat algorithm is shown through simulations to perform constantly better not only in increasing localization success ratios and fast convergence speed but also enhance its robustness.
